Quirky Cooking Tips for the ‘Working Woman’
You will just love these 'quirky' food and cooking tips
1. Food & Cooking Tip: Push a small marshmallow into the end of a sugar cone to stop ice-cream drips.
Working Woman's Tip: Just suck the ice-cream out of the bottom of the cone for heaven's sake. You will probably enjoy it more anyway!!
2. Food & Cooking Tip: If your cake recipe says to flour the baking tin, use a bit of the dry cake mix instead, that way there won't be any dry white powdery residue around the outside of the cake.
Working Woman's Tip: Bakeries sell cakes that are already decorated.
3. Food & Cooking Tip: When you accidentally over salt a dish while it is still cooking, drop in a potato slice.
Working Woman's Tip: If you over salt a dish while you are cooking, tough! Loudly recite the Working Woman's Motto: 'I made it and you will eat it - I don't care how bad it tastes!'
4. Food & Cooking Tip: Wrap up celery in aluminium foil when storing it in the fridge and it should keep for weeks.
Working Woman's Tip: It could keep forever..... 'Who eats it??'
5. Food & Cooking Tip: Remedy for headaches. Get a lime, cut in half and rub on your forehead. The throbbing will go away.
Working Woman's Tip: Cure for headaches. Take a lime, cut it in half and drop it in a double vodka. Drink the vodka. You might still have the headache, but you won't care!
AND in conclusion - The All Time Top Tip.........
6. Food & Cooking Tip: Freeze left over wine in ice cube trays for future use in casseroles and sauces.
Working Woman's Tip: 'Left over wine??? HELLO!!!????'

I have a great cooking tip! Stop!
I stopped cooking and my husband got an apron that says “the bitch stopped cooking” I thought it was HILARIOUS and he showed me the website where he got it, http://www.thebitchstoppedcooking.com. I guess they have some recipes that he can handle and some other products. Check it out! I love coming home to dinner on the table!
Hi There Tracy
Let me begin by saying I just love your site and what a great name…’the bitch stopped cooking’…what a hoot! Thank you so for visiting Daily Screw-Ups and leaving a comment – we should exchange links…
LOL..again .. I love it
Lorrette
This was a great article. I told my mom she made something too spicy … once… that was all.. after her explosion i never ever criticized her cooking again…
Thanks for the positive feedback on the post Tom – appreciate it! Mmmm, dangerous territory there, takes a brave man to criticize his mother’s cooking.
Keep Smiling

The working woman is indeed very busy…LOL… But that’s reality.. Sucking the bottom of the cone of icecream while eating to prevent the dripping of it, that’s true… It’s difficult to eat icecream on cone, I rather do it on a container…. Why is it that there is always drip in eating icecream?LOL…..
Thanks to the real facts working woman…..

I somehow manage to wear my ice-cream somewhere no matter how it is presented..bowl or cone…I always spill some.

Sucking the ice cream out of the bottom of the cone is the only way to eat ice cream in my opinion..although sticking a marshmallow in the bottom is something I’d like to try sometime…just having a marshmallow handy is often the problem.
Sarah….I absolutely agree. I can’t help myself when I eat an ice cream cone, I just have to bite off the bottom of the cone and suck the ice cream out…it must be a universally natural thing, seems we were never actually taught how to do this, it just appears to come naturally!!
Cheers

I love it! You sound a lot like my dear wife. She says she bakes from ’scratch’ by scratching the box.
She’s a busy women too and just shakes her head over all the tips and advice usually found in magazine and newspapers. Who has TIME for all that!
Love you site and sensible advice. Thanks for the chuckles! (Left over wine…who are they kidding!)

Some great comedic value in there as well as some great cooking tips Lorrette. I particulary liked “I made it and you will eat it – I don’t care how bad it tastes!’” .
Yes I agree that one is just a cinch isn’t it. I also liked the one about the leftover wine!!

Oh, this seems so nice this is what i was looking for.thanks dear.good job.
Great “realistic” tips. The lemon in vodka is a wise one. We need to do that more often.
Julie@Infrared Food Thermometer´s last blog ..What Is Infrared Food Thermometer?
Hear, Hear Julie..my particular favorite is the celery tip, I detest the stuff.
Cheers

There is definitely some great tips here.
I look forward to reading the rest of your site
Great headline. If your cookie has a bite-sized action and your reader completes the action, I think two things happen. Their self-confidence goes up (which feels good) and their trust in you increases.
Very nice information. Thanks for this.
Lorrette, I was ROTF with your tips! “Left over wine!” Please give us a tip on how to suck every last drop out of the wine bottle gracefully. “Bakeries sell already sell decorated cakes.” OMG, I can’t stop laughing.
A tip for you: Work up a book with killer humorous tips as you did above. I swear honey, you’ll make the NYTimes bestseller list and it will be given at every bridal and baby shower, housewarmings, birthdays and wedding anniversaries.
Hi There Renee
I get a real kick out of readers telling me that they have enjoyed and laughed at my posts. So, thank you so much for your tremendously enthusiastic comment and for your fabulous tip, which you will be pleased to know is currently underway in a fairly similar form.
I do hope you visit again – in the meantime though thanks for visiting…and …enjoy good things always
Cheers

Now those are tips to live by! June Cleaver I am not! Then again maybe June would still have a show if she had been more entertaining because she drank some vodka! Those 2 boys would have given me a heck of a headache. LOL!
Sheryl Loch’s last blog post..How Long Can They Blow Smoke
TeeHee..Can’t help agreeing with you about June Cleaver. On the other hand there are probably moments while cooking when a drop of Vodka might have made all the difference. Thanks for your comment and please visit again soon.
What a great fun article and how very true it is. The working woman always finds a way, tee hee…
Hi Jo
Thanks for your comment. I think a lot of women, working or not, will get a giggle from this.
