Hello! I hope everybody is having a decent weekend. First off, like everybody else, I was shocked and saddened about what happened yesterday in Connecticut. Who wouldn't be? I just wanted to hug my kids and tell them I love them, even when they are throwing fits and being the biggest pains in the butt.
After much cajoling, arm twisting, foot stomping, arms crossed, shaking my head defiantly, I decided to start a FB for this blog. It's very much in it's embryonic stages but with more followers, I can add more to it. Right now, I feel like I am talking to myself if I sat around updating it and adding blog entries whenever I update.
Here's the link if anybody's interested:

Moving on from the gratuitous and obligatory FB page promotion, I decided to do more recipe cards. The good news is I have milked the Curtin 1973 udders for all I could and now I am going to enthrall and captivate everyone with 23 of the 1974 Weight Watchers recipe cards. I've had this stack for a while, but Curtin came along and distracted me with its mustard yellow box and few colored cards.
So let's all jump onto the ole Weight Watchers bandwagon for a spell. We could all use a little distraction.
Hope you all feel just a little less weighty!

They say it's chocolate. I say it's overdone. But if you need to use these cards, then any color of brown can be convincing. |

Stuffed peppers. Oh how I hate ye. Even being all high falutin' and stuffed with polenta and an obligatory mushroom is not convincing me of their low caloric potential. |

This isn't working either. Shrimp and stuffed peppers? I can't..I just can't!! |

Is this what New Hampshire is famous for? Green peppers stuffed with turkey and doused with what looks like catsup (not ketchup)? Oh let me stay in the South. Even if I am a displaced Hoosier. |

I guess if anything can have spinach and tomato sauce thrown into it, then it too can be called "Italiano". Sounds kind of uneducated, but meh. |

Eggs and Zucchini. There's a flavor combo I don't want to think about too hard. The two white clumps on top are Grilled Egg Sandwiches. Which one is worse? |

Hot mess. That's what this is. A hot mushroom barbecue sauce mess. Is this recipe still in circulation? Does anybody go to their 1970's relatives and have hot mushroom barbecue sauce? |

I'm not sure if I want to live in a world where sauces are "mock". Maybe this is the price I pay for bad food choices. |

So, we are supposed to savor a scaly pink fish with onion sauce smeared across it? I'm not going to be too critical but what does one get out of this? Would it be better to just put it in a little cup next to the scaly pink fish? Otherwise it gives the impression we are going to be picking our teeth with the tail. |

Is this tangy because it has lemon or is it tangy with lemon? It must take more than 4 tablespoons of lemon juice to give veal a tang. |

I bet the tuna aroma coming from this when the puff is pierced is just delightful. The hiss as tuna steam is released. |

Meatballs and cranberries. Makes my mouth pucker and water at the same time. Neither of which are good happy feelings. |

Have no fear about these "Cocktail Favorites". |

Bahaha, let's make fun of the overweight people by creating a recipe and calling it "pie". That's a knee slapper I tell you. It even has green and red food coloring in the recipe because red and green does make brown after all. There are approximately 12 ingredients in this recipe and a tablespoon of chocolate extract to make it chocolatey. |

Who doesn't love a good molded salad? Especially one made of unflavored gelatin, diet cherry or lemon lime soda, chopped cooked beets, and canned pineapple? |

I guess I would have to understand the history behind "Billi-B" to come up with something satirical. Google isn't showing me much. |

This is just a shade of pink nobody talks about anymore. Who would want to? Everything about it screams angrily. |
I can't understand why you'd go to the effort of preparing an artichoke but make a fake sauce! I need an illegal martini now, just thinking about it.
