As Mimi's mom and an "old" member of the original 1972 WW program, I was delighted to be a a part of the Retro WW Experiment. I chose the recipe Cottage Noodles. (Pg. 67 in the 1972 WW Cookbook) Mimi and I love cottage cheese, eggs, and pasta in general. These 3 items were a staple in my avocado colored "fridge". When I was on the 1972 program, I counted the minutes when I could eat my lunch, which was the legal portion of cottage cheese with the legal portion of cooked macaroni. I mixed the 2 together and ate it COLD. This was my happy lunch. It was so much better then scoffing my tuna from the can. I probably ate it everyday. Boy!!! Have things changed. Thank goodness! So try the recipe, it tasted good - and Happy Weight Watcher"ing" ~Mimi's Mom
PS: I wouldn't mind making another guest appearance Retro WW style, if Mimi invites me again. It was alot of fun!!!!

This doesn't sound too bad! :) usually I leave here feeling a little sick to my tummy....today not so much! :) hehe Thanks to MOM for guest posting! :)
This could be pretty good. Or it could be a stomach turner. I'm just so unsure. 'Casue if it was good it would so be something I'd try. (I eat cooked noodles mixed with warm cottage cheese, salt, and pepper as a comfort food.)
Great post Mimi's Mom!!! I'm excited to make my 1972 recipe you've assigned me! It'll be closer to the end of the week, my husband is having some dental work tomorrow that will put him out of solid food commission for a day or two. Once I'm back cooking for two, we're in!!!
Hi there Mimi and Mimi's Mom! I have just finished reading through your blog and I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Never again shall I complain about the tyranny of having to count points (well, I will, but I'll try to do it less) and instead be grateful that I don't live in 1972 and no one is going to make me eat anything encased in gelatine.
Bless you, and keep up the good work!!

PS I think I'm a little bit in love with Jean too - albeit in a she-scares-the-pants-off-me type way.
looks like cheezy runs in the family! love it :)
Barby, you are FANTASTIC! Mimi is no doubt proud of you! Gonna have to catch up on this site. I'm going to grab a coffee (with my allowed amount of coffee cream, of course) and sit down ready to smile and laugh out loud.
Bravo, girls!!!
