Tuples and Attributes

One of my projects during this pandemic was to put all the recipes I have made and all the recipes I want to make into one place. I started going through each of my cookbooks and putting recipes I want to try into my recipe software program. I have now finished going through my physical cookbooks; I still have a lot of my ebook ones to go.

I decided to print out what I have done so far on 60-weight, half-letter size paper and put the recipes in binders. I have just under 500 recipes at the moment, so here’s what they look like:

I have two books for baking (deserts and breads) and four for cooking. Each book has a few page protectors in the front pocket. The recipes themselves are in alphabetical order and I have an index that is both alphabetical and in divisions such as “Poultry”, “Vegetables”, “Appetizers”, etc.

Now I just take out whatever recipe I’m going to make, slip it in the sleeve, and put it on the counter. I must say, the system is working out very well so far!
