The 1600

posted Tuesday, 5 February 2008

This is my 1600th entry. You'd think I might put a bit more effort into such a milestone.*

You'd be wrong.

I'm feeling tired, uninspired, and it's coming down to the wire here, so I'm just going to pass along a link to a funny thing I saw recently, a collection of old Weight Watchers Recipe cards. I'm not sure whether the funniest parts are the pictures of the foods themselves, the commentary on them, or the fact that people somewhere must actually have taken these recipes seriously and prepared them. Mackerel Pudding (which is only one of several uses for Mackerel shown)? Frozen coffee on a stick? Frankfurter Spectacular? Crazy stuff; go check it out--click on the tour to go through all the ones available on-line. 


* By "milestone," of course, I mean that I happened to notice the number because it ends in two zeros and I'm slavishly addicted to base ten counting.
