Thanks Duncan for your input. Do you have an index to find recipes, or in categories?

This is half the fun, organising the recipes and dreaming about what one can make!

Barb

The recipes are indexed by major catagory (meat, fish, bread, ect...) and then alphabetical with page numbers. The index alone spans 24 pages in the printed book and 32 pages for the current word doc file. I have been indexing from near the begining of the collection so it is not a problem. I did have a file error shortly after I printed the book, I did not lose any recipes, but I had to redo the index. Sad

The only problem is that the people that I show the printed book to keep asking for a copy. I did some research on printing and copyright issues and decided that giving out copies, printed or electronic, is a bad idea, and collecting money for it is worse. The problem is that I did not write/invent the recipes, just collected them. So as impressive as many people think that my collection is, I cannot share it. Cry

In Service,
Duncan

Good morning Duncan.

Yes, an interesting issue about copyright, something to keep in mind.

As I am at the start of this interesting journey, I will set up the index in Excel and collect the recipes in word. Probably need a separate book for tried and tested (successful or not!) recipes.

Looking forward to meeting the gang at the COG

. If I was cooking something tricky I wouldnt ever have a drink, one answer I found for group gatherings where one tends to wander checking out what everyone else is cooking is a cheap timer which I set for approximate timings to call me home Grin

I'm hear'n ya' Carolyn,
I have a stopwatch on my wristwatch & use it all the time when cooking, Beers or no beers!!
I'd be lost without it now!

Also use wrist watch alarm when parked in a timed parking meter! Much rather be in the bush though, waiting for dinner to cook!

I have two C O C buddies who are very disruptive and make me lose track of time while cooking.
The have spoiled a couple of meals in the bush.
You may know them:

Jim Beam and Johnie Walker.
Great companions, but a pest around the kitchen.
