I set a goal to post to this blog more than I do to my own blog, but I don't think I can till I get a grip on a little problem I have. When I got married Sydney gave me a really cute recipe card organizer book filled with some great recipes from her and other family members. In the last 7 years I have loved, used, added to... then started to over-fill... then accidentally burned this book. So today, I'm sorry to say, this is what my recipes look like:
Really?!?! Yes I'm that lame and disorganized...every time I need a recipe I flip through tons of scraps of paper that aren't in any order in a book that is burned and falling apart! So, sorry my first post isn't a recipe, I'm making no valuable contribution to the collection so far. But now I have a reason to organize this part of my life and I'll find a recipe soon...literally :)
Ahhhaahahaha! I can't believe you still have it! Burned and battered that it is :)
ReplyDeleteRachel, your recipe organization system resembles mine, except the book my recipes are lovingly tucked into doesn't have quite as much character. (I do have a recipe box, but it only houses the recipes that are never used.) Athough not alphabetized or arranged categorically, I can easily find what I'm looking for in the stack of papers by the unique staining on each (cocoa powder dusting the chocolate recipes, an oil spot on my best bread recipe, some tomato sauce spattering to the edge of my favorite marinara for lasagna.) It works out quite nicely!
