    tear out the pages and put one recipe on every desk in the building. post a notice that you couldn't keep such a generous gift all to yourself.
    Patrice, you always have the best ideas! :lol:

    If someone gifted me a Weight Watchers cookbook, I would immediately jump to the conclusion that he or she figured I was not sensible or disciplined enough to go buy, beg, borrow, or steal a cookbook if I wanted one. So I would be highly insulted just from that standpoint, regardless of any issues of being overweight ... it's the idea that someone did your thinking for you, which is NOT a thoughtful gesture. At best, it was a misguided one.
