Kitchen Tip Tuesdays - on-line recipes

I love recipes.  I'm the kind of person who checks cookbooks out of the library to read them.  Obviously, I also get a lot of recipes on-line.  Since my computer is in my kitchen, that works well for me.

When I see a recipe on-line that I like, I cut and paste it into a Word file called "recipes".  Then I can zoom in about 500%, so that I can read it from across the room where I cook.  After I've tried it, I can decide whether it's worth printing or not.  This saves on paper, printing and storage.

Since my recipes file is over 60 pages by now, I find the recipe I'm looking for by using the "find" feature in Word.  One day I may format them all nicely and print them off for my printed recipe collection, but for now, using the monitor works for me.
