What a great idea to practice Dragon. As I used to teach typing, I have not needed or used it—but I may get it later I am slowing down a bit from my prime typing speeds LOL.
Yes, you would think I would have everything on some sort of electronic file system, but I don’t...Anything happens to me, and it will be impossible for anyone to find stuff—I just know where everything is—and who’s recipe I need. I have great grandmother’s and grandmother’s recipes in their old binders and card files, my mother’s old binders and cookbooks (she was a cookbook collector—everywhere she went, bought one), my cookbooks, and then all kinds of stuff on Word files and in emails and scanned in...That said, I have put together small efiles/books for my kids of favorites—easy and cheap stuff they like :)
Interestingly, at Thanksgiving, my son asked for a new corn casserole recipe. He loved it and wanted to make more when he went back home.
Guess I better make organizing recipes a TWO-Year+ New Year’s Resolution. However, on the positive side, if SHTF before I complete the task, I have paper copies of old, simple recipes and will be able to cook for the fam ;)
