they didn't like so much.

~ i make a notation in a text file on my computer desktop.

That way i have a handy list of the recipe name and where

it is in which cookbook, etc. When i have time i will type

the recipe up to share on my veggie cooking groups.

I have a little binder that has index cards in it (though I see others

use the computer - probably even easier). I list the recipe name,

then the cookbook, then the page it's on.
