Dimure? LOL Me?

Seriously what works for me is a large binder and I

place recipes I print from the group to try. When I

try something I then place it in my recipe book and I

have 3 huge ones of all my favorite tried and true

recipes. Same with recipes from cookbooks, if I try

it I photocopy the recipe and put in my recipe book so

I can find it again. All my cookbooks have post it

notes to try this and that on pages. I have a huge

pile of recipes cut from newspapers and magazines to

try and I'm like Beth, they are in a huge stored pile.

Picture yourself in a boat on a river,

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly,

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes.

I have three drawers full of Food Sections from

various newspapers. I really mean to cut out

the ones I'm specifically interested in and

place them in an appropriate place or type them

up. There I'll be, on the floor at 97 (or

at least that old if not older)(but still quite

dead) and relatives will be opening drawers and

finding this recipe and this food section oh,

and this music magazine and that music magazine

or album review in various drawers and cabinets

throughout the house, possibly by that point a few

bundles tied up in the hallways, certainly still

enough room to pass through the hall but . . .

 

I also have several recipe software tools. The

one that may have somewhere less than 100 recipes

in it is RecipeCenter, which isn't quite what I

would like but comes close. Unfortunately I cannot

magically transfer recipes in emails and newspapers

into it with the ingredients going into the

ingredients

section, the instructions into that section, etc.

Equally unfortunate is that they've taken it from

two versions, shareware and freeware, and made it

into just a freeware which has fewer capabilities

and, I do believe, they are doing hardly any

development/enhancement work on it.

 

Same for the music database I've had for years,

several hundred CD's in it and many, many more

to go. One of these days . . .

YES! Those skinny little post it note marker thingies are all through my

cookbooks. i just hacked up a pile of post it notes this morning to use. I'm

marking up all kamut & spelt recipes. there aren't a lot so I'm off to the

recipe files in hopes of finding some.

3 drawers? Cheers!! I hear ya on the eventual organizing!

 

I forgot about all the food sites that have 'cookbook' folders & such to save

recipes from their site. they get saved there until I print them out. is

recipe collecting/hoarding a recognized disease?

For years, I had recipes I cut out in a box. Finally I organized

most of my papers in a filing cabinet. Part of it contains recipes.

I bought hanging file folders and manila file folders. and divided

things into categories like vegetables, entrees, Mexican, cookies,

cakes, beverages, etc. I keep the hanging files in all the time and

just take the manila ones out. I can find most recipes pretty quick

now.

I don't have the hanging files, but I do the same thing. Except I have two

files right in the front:

1. Weeks Recipes

My weeks recipe file seems to get fatter and fatter. Guess I should have

a file with just " Favorites " .

2. Recipes to Try.
