Dear God What Were They Thinking: Part 2???!!!!!

Yes, we turn to books to educate us, enlighten our minds to the world around us and for escape. Books can also provide cautionary tales worth heeding. Snarky comments that make you laugh out loud is just icing on the Fish Balls.

Take The Amazing Mackerel Pudding Plan: Classic Diet Recipe Cards from the 1970s by Wendy McClure as an example of the latter. When helping to clean out her parent's home she came across a series of recipe cards from Weight Watchers. Apparently, this was something that you could subscribe to. Pay the money and every month some of these gems would come your way.

And what gems these are! Rosy Perfection Salad, Sloppy Joes Manila (YES! Phillipino Sloppy Joes! Who knew?), and Marcy's "Enchilada". You all need to know however, that Desketeer Marcy swears that she would never put her name on such an abomination. We believe her. You should too.

I personally am of the belief that just looking at something entitled "Liver Pate En Masque" was enough to put any thinking person off his/her feed, and presto! weight loss!

Have a gander. I think that you will agree.
