With Pinterest, clipping recipes from periodicals might be a thing of the past. Yet those of us who cooked before the Internet are plagued with mismatched piles of recipes we want to try. Mine are in a folder. A couple of years ago I at least paper clipped them into categories: vegetables, main dishes, appetizers, etc. Even so, it continues to be a struggle to locate a certain one.
Some recipes have been lonely for years, never examined. There is a better way. Let's say I want to make BBQ wings for dinner. By typing a word into Pinterest, twenty or more recipes pop up. The favorite can be pinned, and it's easy to locate when I need it. This is so much more efficient than a scrap of faded newspaper with the recipe. I am going to sit and watch TV today, examining my recipe clippings. If I've never tried the recipe, out it will go because I know where to find twenty just like it. A few favorites will be kept until I can put them into a nice notebook, copy them on recipe cards for the file box, or just type and save them into a folder on my computer desktop.
