When I found the recipe cards in Wendy McClure's first book, "I'm Not The New Me," I laughed so hard I was crying. And then I had to share with my husband. He got a kick out of them too!

When I found she had a whole book dedicated to nothing but those recipe cards, I knew it was for me! I loved it! She re-shares the first cards that started it all and a whole lot more. I don't know what those people were thinking (or smoking) when they came up with some of the recipes, but they are excellent comic fodder some 30+ years later, especially when paired with the funny, often dry, comments by the author.

Not recommended for those offended by a liberal sprinkling of curse words.
