Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Hi all. Boy oh boy, I have an e-mail box full of recipes. I need to download some software so I can empty my box. I need the organizer to be " freeware " (unlimited use for free of charge). It sure would be nice if it were user-friendly as well. Any ideas out there? Also, any advice on how to transfer the nearly 200 recipes, or is it just a matter of cut and paste? Thanks for any help. Here is recipe for Hummus, which I have been munching on the last few days. Taste great on tostada chips. Note, I do not add the parsley or pimiento to my hummus, but I wanted to post the original recipe for those who would like it. Good protein content recipe. 1 15-ounce can garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained 1/4 cup tahini 1/4 cup lemon juice 1 tablespoon olive oil 2 cloves garlic, quartered 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon paprika 1/2 cup snipped parsley 1 2-ounce jar diced pimiento, drained (1/4 cup) In a food processor bowl or blender container combine beans, tahini, lemon juice, oil, garlic, salt, and paprika. Cover and process or blend till smooth, stopping and scraping sides as necessary. Transfer to a bowl. Stir in parsley and pimiento. Cover and chill 2 to 24 hours.

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2002 Report Share Posted September 26, 2002 Hi MX -- no software ideas here, but I've been cutting and pasting from the files on this list for a few days now. Have you looked in the FILES section for this list? I've put about a kazillion and a half recipes in there. 940 Kb of text files, to be exact. Maybe that will make you happy and you won't feel the need to store the recipes on your own computer privately, as I've already done the work for you. I wanted the same thing you do, and I figured could store the recipes so I wouldn't need to do it on my hard drive... and this way we all can enjoy. You need to be a member of to see the files. The addy is: You might want to take a look there before you go to all that work. Melinda , " MatriXeno . " <matrixeno@h...> wrote: > Hi all. Boy oh boy, I have an e-mail box full of recipes.

It is pretty user friendly. > Also, any advice on how > to transfer the nearly 200 recipes, or is it just a matter of cut and paste? Yeah ... wait for my Lady (who is a programmer) to finish writing my recipe programme *laugh*. One of its features will be that it grabs recipes out of email and files them. BTW, if anyone has any ideas that should be incorporated into such a programme (which will be released as shareware when it is ... if it is ... finally completed), I would be really interested. Oh, btw, I am a newcomer to the list ... hi all! *laugh* Lee-Gwen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 Hi Lee-Gwen, welcome to the group. I would definitely like to get the url for " Recipe Box " . Can you also by any chance spare someone to tediously transfer these dang recipes into the program, LOL. Thanks again. To all: I have noticed that several messages including my own are at but not in my email box. Many emails were sent and received a day ago. Right now there are about 15 sitting over there, and today I have received about 4 from the group sporatically.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2002 Report Share Posted September 27, 2002 Hi Melinda, trust me your work is appreciated here, thanks. The group alone is great, but having it so nicely organized and making it so much fun is even better. I belong to several other groups as well. So I receive recipe emails from several groups. Then I trim the fat, keeping the ones that look good or that I am interested in trying and deleting the rest. I prefer to keep them on my hardrive. Therefore I wont have to get online and go through thousands of recipes, just a couple hundred in my program. It's still great to have them online, because I wasnt appart of this group the day you opened it, so I probably havent seen one-thousandth of the recipes. Your group is great! I enjoy the fact that you reply to many people and stay actively involved.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 Hi MX, Thanks for the kudos. Just one correction; this isn't my group. A little sleuthing tells me it was apparently started by a lady named Bethany Jordan, who posted lots of recipes. She either changed her handle and went underground, or she hasn't posted in about a year and a half from what I can tell. Bethany, are you out there?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2002 Report Share Posted September 28, 2002 Oh, whoopsy daisy, well, Melinda you coulda fooled me. I guess then you actually deserve EXTRA KUDOS for your voluntary contributions. Ok well you are not the moderator but a good-hearted, very kind person.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2002 Report Share Posted September 29, 2002 Thanks, Shawn, just trying to help everyone here out. The way I set them up, everyone can go contribute to the files, and I hope they will! Melinda , " MatriXeno . " <matrixeno@h...> wrote: > Oh, whoopsy daisy, well, Melinda you coulda fooled me.
