I forgot something:
I had a question this week about recipe organizing software. The person who asked has been using a product that is now moving to a ‘cloud’, and she doesn’t like that. Does anyone have a favorite product like this for PCs?
You’re talking to someone who has 2 3X5 index card boxes, one for baking and sweets and one for everything else.
Sorry, I’m too much of a control freak :-) I have everything organized in folders and files, mainly word documents. Just like I don’t trust that cloud thingie either.
I waited for Black Friday last year and got an 8" Amazon Fire tablet for $60 (vs. $300 for an iPad). I have a cable modem with its own WiFi hot spot built in. That allows me to have internet access on the Fire tablet. I have an email address allowing me to send recipes to the Fire tablet via email attachments on my computer. That gets the recipes I want into the Fire tablet. I used a magnetic refrigerator mount to mount my Fire tablet vertically on my fridge door. So, turning on my tablet, I can do a search for the name of the recipe I want. I also alphabetized the recipes to make them easier to search. It would be simple to create folders for each type of food you want to group, and just go into those. It's wonderful to be able to read my recipes as I cook, scrolling with the touch of a finger.
