Elston you posted about this earlier but I am just getting here. You mentioned about the cookbook. One of my personal treasures is my MIL's recipe boxes and cookbooks with all her handwritten notations. Sometimes when my kids are here and husband is missing her I have a "Gig" day where I cook all her recipes and somehow it brings comfort to them. I too try to write all my recipes out so someday my kids or grandkids will have them especially in my handwriting.
My side of the family every year has a Christmas party whre everyone brings a dish. The amount of food is incredible and what each person brings has become tradition and something everyone looks forward to. This year my cousin had everyone write down their personal recipes and a Family cookbook was published. Some of the comments are hilarious and shows everyone's personalities also.
I just have to say what a great idea this is!! Makes me wish I had al my Grandma Craines Recipes. She had them all hand written. Her cursive was elegant.....Some how they fell through the cracks when she passed...or to the cracks of cousins I have
I couldn't stop by yesterday, I was in too much pain from my dental experience! lol It's much better today. Cheek and jowl are still swollen and quite tender from all the novacaines I kept needing, but at least the root canal has stopped throbbing!!!! Whoa! The teeth he made look really purty, so I'm very pleased with the result. Next time, I *will* say yes to the Vicadin!!!! lol
Last night I ate a ham and lite jarlsberg cheese sandwich. Tonight I'm thinking spaghetti and filet mignon. It's such a tender steak, it just melts in your mouth. Steak and spaghetti has been a favorite for many years as my mom owned a steak house that featured italian foods. I made a rather large batch of sauce a month or more ago and froze quite a few containers to enjoy later. Looks like this is one of those laters. Ha! Obviously I need comfort food today, huh? lol
Hope all of you are doing great. There are way too many pages to go back and read.... I just couldn't even come on yesterday to follow anything. I kept pretty quiet and ate 1,000 mg of Tylenol every 4 hours. Added a Bailey's to that prior to bedtime and it seemed to have made an effective drug cocktail since I slept soundly through the night.
Go to your desk top and right click on a free area, go down to "New", then click on "New Folder". This new folder will appear on your desk top; double left click on the name "new folder" hit delete or backspace to clear it to a white box. Type in the new name of your folder in this case "Recipes". Now you should have the folder set up to start saving your recipes.
I prefer copying and pasting recipes into a new email that I send to myself but you can also save them in word documents into your new recipe folder as well. In a word doc click on "file" then "save or save as", a new window will pop up that should have a list of all your folders on your computer; with the top box saying "My documents". Click on the recipe folder, that is showing with all your other folders in this box, so it is now in the top window of the box you just opened then click on save. Your recipe should now be saved into your new folder!
To make sub folders inside your recipe folder click on "Make a new folder" repeat clicking on the blue words under the folder to name this folder. I have one for: appetizers, beverages, breads, breakfast, canning, casseroles etc. then one each for each kind of meats. Inside my veggies folder I have many sub folders for each kind of veggies same for my pies/cakes folder I separate them as well.
When I started saving recipes they all went into one folder it was a mess trying to find any recipe I wanted until I took the time to set up this system. I hope this helps the ones that want to be able to save all the recipes shared! Or you could buy one of those fancy expensive recipe programs to install but the frugal side me said 'no way'.
I love rutabagas....mashed with salt and pepper and butter.....essential part of the traditional Thanksgiving Meal; they also add a lot to a beef stew.
The white turnips....I seldom use, but Dad used to cube them, boil and then put in a white sauce. He also did that with kolrabi....which has a similar taste.
I've never had rutabagas. What does it taste like?
Jaxon I have a new folder labeled recipes set up.....now we will see if I can organize and use it. Thanks!!!!!

We eat them with anything other than more pasta type dishes.
