Delia’s Way Vs\u00a0Real Women’s Way<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Delia\u2019s way <\/em><\/strong>Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.<\/p>\n

The Real Women’s Way<\/em><\/strong>: Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for Gods sake, you’re probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it anyway.<\/p>\n

Delia\u2019s way <\/em><\/strong>To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.<\/p>\n

The Real Women’s Way<\/em><\/strong>: Buy powdered potato and keep it in the cupboard for up to a year.<\/p>\n

Delia\u2019s way<\/em><\/strong>: When a cake recipe calls for flouring the tin, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won’t be any white mess on the outside of the cake.<\/p>\n

The Real Women’s Way<\/em><\/strong>: Go to the bakers. They’ll even decorate it for you.<\/p>\n

Delia\u2019s way<\/em><\/strong>: If you accidentally over salt a dish while it’s still cooking, drop in a peeled potato and it will absorb the excess salt for an instant “fix me up”.<\/p>\n

The Real Women’s Way<\/em><\/strong>: If you over salt a dish while you’re cooking, that’s tough. Please recite with me The Real Women’s motto: I made it and you will eat it and I don’t care how bad it tastes.<\/p>\n

Delia\u2019s way<\/strong>: Wrap celery in foil when putting in the fridge and it will keep for weeks.<\/p>\n

The Real Women’s Way: <\/em><\/strong>Celery? Never heard of the stuff.<\/p>\n

Delia\u2019s way<\/em><\/strong>: <\/strong>Brush some beaten egg white over pie crust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.<\/p>\n

The Real Women’s Way<\/em><\/strong>: The Fray Bentos pie directions do not include brushing egg whites over the crust and so I don’t do it.<\/p>\n

Delia\u2019s way<\/em><\/strong>: If you have a problem opening jars, try using rubber gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.<\/p>\n

The Real Women’s Way: <\/em><\/strong>Go ask the very gorgeous neighbour to do it.<\/p>\n

Delia\u2019s way<\/em><\/strong>: Don’t throw out all that leftover wine. Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.<\/p>\n

The Real Women’s Way<\/em><\/strong>: Leftover wine?<\/p>\n

Delia\u2019s way<\/em><\/strong>: When catering for an evening buffet, calculate food portions and timings a week in advance, so that you’re not rushing on the night.<\/p>\n

The Real Women’s Way<\/em><\/strong>: Nip into Marks & Sparks on the way home that evening, and buy everything in ready made.<\/p>\n

Delia\u2019s way:<\/strong>When you have finished the preparation for your buffet, wash up and treat yourself to a glass of wine.<\/p>\n

The Real Women’s Way<\/em><\/strong>: Hide the packets and drain the last of that “pre dinner” wine bottle…<\/p>\n
