In reply to the discussion: Do you still have cookbooks? Do you use them? [View all]usonian
(13,848 posts)55. Scan everything, though I will treasure and pass along Mom's recipe cards.
Even if my daughter is incredibly modern. I keep a few family treasures intact. Just enough.
Over the years, I have stored ideas on all formats, including computer outliner apps and mind maps. But the larger cards (5 x 8) seem to hold just enough. Great ideas should be short and clear before moving forward with them. But I digress. I just snapped part of my bookshelf with the sampler books, if not the everyday ones ( do they exist? )
I will post later, since imgbb is dead as a doornail right now.
Lovers of books argue that having a subset of the world handy is good. The internet is overwhelming, even if one is selective.
BTW large cards make good crumb scoopers. I prefer the metal ones.
