I get lots of e-mail from folks who love food.
One of those is my friend Jolie, author of the blog average everyday sane/psycho supergoddess. She sent along a link to this site, which celebrates - and mocks - the weirdness found on Weight Watchers recipe cards published in 1974. Each serving comes with a side dish of snarkiness.
An example:

Chicken Liver Bake: enjoy it with the ashes of a loved one.
Or maybe what’s left of the chickens are in that urn. Maybe the chickens were your loved ones.
But chickens never love back enough. And that’s why you have to KILL them. And eat their livers ritualistically. And then they’re a part of you forever. Forever.
Nice.
The other favorite link of the week, is the one I found at Boing Boing, which posted a photo of Mexican candy cigarettes in the shape of an iPod.
