Synopses & Reviews Publisher Comments: A collection of the notorious retro "Weight Watchers" recipe cards in all their foul, full-color glory.
I found them while helping my parents clean out their basement a few years ago. They were neatly arranged in their own plastic file box. Plenty of the dishes seemed normal enough, but as I flipped through them, some of the recipes began to alarm me. And then I found the card for Rosy Perfection Salad. I fell over. I mean I Iaughed so hard I started coughing and I fell back on the floor and I waved the card at my mom, who just rolled her eyes. "Can I please have these? Please?" I begged. "What do you want them for?" she asked. "To cook?" "No," I said. She let me have them. I think they might have been my grandma's, but she never copped to actually having bought them. Nobody else did, either. As far as I know, I was never served any of these dishes as a child. I probably would have repressed the memory, anyway. —Wendy McClure
