Delia Smith’s Cookery Advise:-

Delia’s Way 1

Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips.

The Real Women’s Way 1

Just suck the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone, for God’s sake. You are probably lying on the couch with your feet up eating it anyway.
********************************

Delia’s Way 2

To keep potatoes from budding, (I think that means stop from going off) place an apple in the bag with the potatoes.

The Real Women’s Way 2

Buy Smash mashed potato mix and keep it in the pantry for up to a year.
**********************************

Delia’s Way 3

When a cake recipe calls for flouring the baking tin, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead and there won’t be any white mess on the outside of the cake.

The Real Women’s Way 3

Tesco’s sell cakes. They even do decorated versions.
********************************

Delia’s Way 4

If you accidentally over-salt a dish while it’s still cooking, drop in a potato slice.

The Real Women’s Way 4

If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, that’s tough sh*t.
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.”
**********************************

Delia’s Way 5

Wrap celery in aluminium foil when putting in the refrigerator and it will keep forever.

The Real Women’s Way 5

It could keep forever. I don’t eat it.
*********************************
Delia’s Way 6

Brush some beaten egg white over piecrust before baking to yield a beautiful glossy finish.

The Real Women’s Way 6

Sainsbury’s frozen pie directions do not include brushing any egg whites over the crust so I don’t do that.
********************************
Delia’s Way 7

Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.

The Real Women’s Way 7

Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and drop it in 8 ounces of tequila. Drink the tequila. You might still have the headache, but who gives a sh*t?
******************************

Delia’s Way 8

If you have a problem opening jars, try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a non-slip grip that makes opening jars easy.

The Real Women’s Way 8

Go ask mister tight bum, cute legs, single neighbour to do it for you.

*******************************

And finally the most important tip …

Delia’s Way 9

Freeze leftover wine into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces.

The Real Women’s Way

Leftover wine ?????
********************************

Oh god I feel like I’m going to be sending some blog receipes.

Kp what do you think to the following:

1. Sheperds pie – with cabbage + carrots
2. Spag bol – with salad

If you had said I would have cooked, freezed and left it with you both.

Knit one, pearl one, I’d love a long scarf Dp.
