Recipe for Disaster

These are my recipes.

There must be hundreds and hundreds of them that I've clipped from magazines or printed from the computer. This doesn't include my cookbooks and recipe cards! I've never made any of the ones that are laying on the table. The stack in mid-air are the ones I've tried and liked. (If I try one and we don't like it, it gets tossed.) I love to cook and especially love to try new recipes but I think this is getting a little carried away!

I've had intentions.....for years, of going through them, sorting them and organizing them. Never happens. I think I need to make an appt.....with myself...and soon, to go through these. I try to toss some each time I look for a new recipe but the pile seems to get bigger and bigger.

After several recent, frustrating occasions of rifling through them trying to find a particular recipe that I liked, it occurred to me that I should separate the ones that I've used before. Now, there's an idea! [Sometimes it takes me a little longer to figure things out.] LOL. I had no idea there were so many in here that I hadn't tried before! That was an eye-opener. I haven't even tried a quarter of the recipes!

Time to get cookin'.
