And speaking of gelatin powder, I wanted to thank you for your link to Mimi's Retro Weight Watchers blog. All my life I thought that my mother, who did WW back in the late 70s and early 80s, had conjured up all those strange recipes herself: strawberry fluffs, rubbery gelatins made with root beer extract, and not-exactly-food too fierce to mention. But Mimi's blog revealed that my mother had only been bringing to life the terrors in the WW recipe collections, and I take a certain comfort in that. My mum is quite a good cook and an even better eater, and it disturbed me to think that those nightmare foods came out of her own low-calorie imagination.Olive O'Suddenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11325055657113877279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2660641345241219924.post-31138418983471395432014-09-29T19:10:20.506-07:002014-09-29T19:10:20.506-07:00AIison, I got a lot more than that.

He also put maple syrup on rice. I think this explains a lot about my eating habits today.

The only thing was, he'd put sour cream atop the cottage cheese first (A holdover I think from when you had to buy dry curds and add your own cream) and then douse it in dressing. We didn't get much pineapple (It was expensive) but I can see most of the older relatives thinking this would be a nice salad (and nutritious, because it had dairy).
