Bunny,
My goodness, are you saying that you have to type the recipes from Betty
Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook? If that is the case, we certainly
appreciate your efforts!
A couple of other thing you touched on:
1. Like Duckie, I use BigOven software to sort and save my recipes. You
are able to import several different data formats. It is a little Geeky
at first, but is terrific when you get it set up.
2. I believe it was Cleo that suggested you copy or drag the recipes
into folders in your mail client. I use Thunderbird which looks much
like Outlook Express, but is much better in my humble opinion. You can
download it free on mozilla.com as well as the Firefox browser (it puts
an end to pop-ups!). For new folders, I put my mail client on 'inbox'
and go to the 'File' at the top and click on 'new' and then 'folder'.
Then you can name the folder whatever you want and have as many as you
want, in order to separate types of cooking or courses or whatever. When
you have time you can then import these recipes into BigOven and make as
many folders in it as you want. Besides my cookbook folders, I have a
"Favorite" folder, a "Try it" folder ect. With BigOven, you needn't be
online to find a recipe you want. It also has a terrific "Find" button
on it that you can use to find recipes with the ingredients you have on
hand. Sorry, I am starting to sound like a commercial, but it is neat
software.
Thank you so much for your posts and I am looking forward all of your
future ones too!
Take Care,
Terry McIntire
