Yes, but mainly because I can't even GET to my cookbooks, which
are buried behind heaps of other cookbooks. That will change
soon, at which point I will see how much I look at my cookbooks.

Recipe boxes? I never used one. I do have many notebooks full of
recipes, and four file cabinet drawers full of printouts. I
stopped doing printouts of all my saved files. That is both good
and bad, because some of the esoteric sites disappear.
