I mostly cook what we want. But if I notice that I have some stuff that is
about to go bad, then I will look for something I can make to use it all up.
Doesn't always work but often it does. However I tend to do an Internet
search instead of going to Mastercook. I actually haven't used Mastercook
in many years, even though it is very good. I guess I just like to look for
new things.
