Oh gosh, this is a hard question. Since I've been tooling around on the
Internet since 1986 (with my double-spaced 20 meg hard drive and 1800 baud
modem LOL) and Usenet much later, 1997 or so... I'd have to say I've gotten
a good number of recipes online. Mostly the ones I use come from cookbooks,
though. Betty Crocker, primarily. Good Housekeeping.

Got the recipe for corn chowder here from Kate Connally. Good stuff! Mom
actually ate two bowls of it. She rarely goes back for seconds so that's
testimony enough

When I like something at a restaurant I love to try to recreate it at home.
No recipe involved, just my palate and some imagination.

I worked at Red Lobster in the late '70's and loved their crab stuffed
flounder, so I got together with a girlfriend, we went grocery shopping and
I made some for dinner. That was fun because I had no clue how they
prepared it. I was working strictly on visuals and what I thought it should
taste like. Turned into one of my signature dishes
