The state of my recipe collection has been somewhat dismal over the past 3 years...  I basically would find a recipe that I liked, usually online, and then print it out...  Over time I have accumulated a ton of great recipes, but they are all sheets of printer paper and not organized in any way...  I ended up with a thick stack of papers that was totally unworkable...

Every time I would start to think of fixing them up in a managable way, I would always be so discouraged as there were  so many and they were such a mess.

Well.... today I just sat down and did it...

I decided to go thru them all and make sure I even wanted or used them... this weeded out a bunch of them. 

Then... instead of rewriting them on index cards... I decided to cut and tape them to index cards...   It seems to have worked pretty well.

I had forgotten so many of the recipes that I had... now I'm inspired to cook!
