My memory isn't what it used to be, and there are a lot of things I just
toss together. A few years ago, I decided to put my "little of this and
little of that" stuff into bona fide recipe formats in MasterCook. This
includes vegetable beef soup, dilled potato salad, even tuna sandwiches. I
want to make sure that if I'm first to kick off, Crash can still make "my"
food. It also helps me already, because I'm not always able to remember
how I accomplished things in the past.

Does anyone else do this?
