HOT* - Horribly Off Topic - food?

I think one could lose weight just by contemplating the illustrations. Wait!! Beverly, did you find this site already?

I was officially an adult in December 1974. (18th birthday)

I can cook.

WW has helped me lose 65lbs...

I am really happy that I didn't have to do it back then with food like that! Scary stuff! MY WW recipes are so nice the whole family eats them and even non WW-ing guests have asked for the recipes on occasion. :)

I find the cabbage lined plate of gleaming white fish balls particularly distressing.

I was 10 years old in 1974 but my granddaddy was an adult and into Weight Watchers on the advice of his doctor. I can certainly understand why he cheated if this is typical of the offerings!!! My Grandmama was an excellent cook, btw, and Granddaddy became right stout because of eating too much, not because of eating junk food. Plus he was physically handicapped and that limited his ability to exercise.

FISH BALLS ARE GOOD!!!! Ok, I'll stop shouting now. :-)

I probably should confess that I eat them Asian style rather than Scandinavian style, though. I buy a tin and add them to soup that I make by sauteing veggies, green curry paste and fresh ginger, along with glass noodles and chicken boullion. I use either Thai Fish Sauce or a good Japanese soy (NOT yucky grocery store soy sauce) as my condiment.

The above is something that causes poor Harri to run, screaming in horror, so I only fix this soup for my weekday lunches. :-)

LOL - oh, you just brought back memories, though with me the food allergy diet was for 3 weeks and I could only eat apricots and drink apricot juice - no pears. (I was 10 at the time, don't know if it matters.) The lamb for me blew a hole in my mom's food budget and it was a good 15 years before I could stand to look at apricots or their juice again!

I hadn't when the difloopdegories struck, but that site certainly would have brought it on... Yikes!

Who knew fish had balls???

If you slurp it from the saucer, that cools it down. Worked for my grandmother, but she dipped snuff too, and made her own sauerkraut. Don't think she ever mixed it all up though.
