Default Still use recipe box/cookbooks or the Internet?

Still use them all, but I've shifted from cookbooks to the internet. It was
20/80 and is now 80/20. Mostly, if I want to make a particular meal or what
to do with a new veggie I want to try I do a search and get some ideas, then
do what I want. I do keep an extensive file of recipes but instead of t
ping from a book, it is probably copy and paste from a web site now. The
rare printed recipe I want is scanned and then OCR does the rest.
