Further to my last

[desperance]

...The situation in re printed copies of recipes is not helped by my occasional activation of another plan. I have this abiding notion that when I cook a recipe from a book, the smart thing is actually to bring the book up here, type up and print out the recipe. In part this is to save the book from smears & spillage, but in main it's to allow me to find the recipe again next time I want it. When you have, um, as many cookery books as I do, and your memory is as incompetent as mine - well, there are recipes out there in the wild that I loved once and have never found again. If they're all on my computer, the argument goes, then I can find 'em at the press of a button.

The alternative would be an index of the contents of my library. Which, again, not ever so likely to happen.

Nor does the typing-up happen much; but sometimes, yes. And then the printing-out. And then the printing out again...

The astute among you will have realised, I am not so much downstairs sorting out the recipes, but much more upstairs typing on the internets.

Sigh...
