Rooting around in the rear of a cupboard, I found my old recipe
stand. Clear plastic, sturdy enough to hold even a heavy hardcover
book.

I found a storage spot for it near the microwave, so I'm re-
discovering how handy it is. A lot of my recipes are just mag
clippings in an old photo album and were hard to read when they were
lying prone on the counter.

I'm also slowly retyping favorite recipes the way *I* like 'em.
Instead of listing all ingreeds first, I introduce them in the
instruction text and bold print 'em. I also like to list at the top
what to pull from the fridge, what bowls and tools are needed, etc.
and little goodies like being advised to use room temperaturized sour
cream.

Even in a printed cookbook, I like to highlight the ingreeds with a
pink marker. I am not averse to writing in a cookbook. After all, it
ain't The Book of Kells.
