{one example ~ and a good one at that}

In an effort to further my photography skills, I joined the flickr group SLW Remakes which is run by Lara behind the Still Life With blog.

Each month she gives us a photo idea to remake. The last one was ice cream and I didn’t quite have the fodd stuffs required at the right time to take a photo (not quite the right time for ice cream in the freezing cold winter down under).

But this month’s challenge, well it threw up some interesting finds on the www.

Lara has challenged us to remake one of the 1974 Weight Watcher recipe cards. The kicker ~ they come with some, uh, interesting names like Fluffy Mackerel Pudding and Inspiration Soup. They are on the unappetising side.

An internet trawl reveals these have quite the following out in the www.

Check out the cards here (along with some biting commentary from Wendy) and find out “what weight watchers card from 1974 are you” with this quiz here. (I’m Fish “Tacos”)

Or check out the Make the Mackerel flickr group here.
