silly Weight Watchers recipe cards from the 70s

Excerpt:

Once upon a time the world was young and the words "mackerel" and "pudding" existed far, far away from one another.

Sharing the Mackeral Love

Those cards spurred the following thread in my journal a while ago. (http://www.livejournal.com/users/rmjwell/144345.html)

I made a big order at Archie McPhee before Christmas, and one of several "free gifts" was a package of "party food" recipe cards appearing to date from the '70s, with that same scary color photography and dishes with names not unlike Fluffy Mackerel Pudding.

I keep trying to think of someone who'd be the perfect recipient for this (ahem) gift ...

I just may find some of my own in my mom's house

I'm doing major de-stashing. But I have to do it under her nose. Unfortunately, she's a lot easier to fool than before.

But I have found recipe cards. And magazines from the 80's. I think the
70's mags are just a bit deeper. The best find was a Look magazine from
April '68 with a giant head shot of Robert Kennedy on the cover. Too bad it is in bad shape. It might have been worth something.
