Okay Marsha. How are we going to make a book of your veg recipes? They are at the top now & I'm

afraid that I am going to miss some.

Maybe I should just do it. Copy each one into a WP program and assemble in some kind of alpha order.

I sure don't want all your work to roll up and away from view yet.

 
Good question...I used to do "file, send page" to my email box all the time before I lost my hard

drive; then save it in an email folder until I could eventually get it recorded in my computer recipe book (NOT)....

as someone else said here, I'll never live long enough to make all the recipes I have cut out, saved, have in cookbooks, etc.

 
I just tried something new that's working well. I opened a new file in Word for Finer Kitchens....

then open the recipe here and do 'file save as and type the name of the recipe and save it under Finer Kitchens. I'll be doing that until I get my computer completely restored.

Maybe that's a possibility for you as well?

 
Thanks Marsha. I use WordPerfect & copy from your work here via clipboard. I

then fix it up...that means put it into the largest font possible to fit on one page, stylize it according to what I'm used to over the years, then file it under recipes according to type. In your case, it's veg and it's huge.

It takes time to do the copying and enlarging for old eyes, but soon come. The garden does beckon but I'll get it all done yet. I'm happy to have the recipes coming at me. My H does not like vegetables & is thrilled with what you're uncovering for us.

How do you determine which recipes to publish to us? Do you consider it for originality or ease of preparation? You have so many, I'm wondering what you think of when you find them.

And you've reminded me that I need to do a backup soon. Thanks.

 
I'm perusing my cookbooks for the time being...then I overlook the ones of old with soup, breadcrumb

casseroles, etc.and pass them by. After that it's if they sound a little more unusual, a little dramatic, perhaps with more ease, etc. I wouldn't have shared if you hadn't asked. I told Mimi, I'm waiting for our kitchen remodel to be done, then I may not share so many at any given time . Right now I'm just trying to share while I have time. Later I'll just give some here and there.
It feels good to give back after I've taken so many.

That said with losing our hard drive, I don't have ANY recipes left. I sure hope I hear good news next week when they're done with the retrieval process.

 
I sure do appreciate it. Maybe by the time you are up and running with

the new computer, I'll have these ready to send to you.

 
Marsha, do you mean you just have a file on your disk (or hard drive) for...

the recipes you want and named it "Finer Kitchens" for yourself, or are you doing something fancier here at the site?

Dawn, who is technically challenged when it comes to some things!

 
I think I'm challenged period smileys/smile.gif...I don't know what Marg has up her sleeve...after I gave a veggie

rcp. she said we need more. So I said I'd start sharing some. I shared how I cook some of mine...then I've started going through my 200+ cookbooks, then my hard drive died because the fan isn't coming on inside the computer now...

In the meantime Marg says she's trying to find a way to keep them organized for herself and then it seems she things my computer is completely down and she's preparing a 'book' for both of us so I don't have to look through books to find them again???????

So I'm not quite understanding it all either.

Anyway, no I don't have a file or disk with all the veggie recipes....mostly they're coming from cookbooks.

Now you're not technically challenged....smileys/smile.gif
