I also mark my cookbooks with those sticky notes and keep running out of them. Too many recipes marked but untested. I usually stick to the tried and tested but I will be more adventurous from now on.

Most of the time the ones I end up making are usually something that inspires me right at that moment.<br />Love the funny one about the chicken that has to hang for 8hrs to ventillate...LOLElisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067009428999484965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222156107435210447.post-29260284074411584782012-09-13T16:14:30.112+08:002012-09-13T16:14:30.112+08:00It is, if only it were translated into actual food...It is, if only it were translated into actual food :)PHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11010771600736676432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222156107435210447.post-73604853489340283922012-09-13T16:12:14.502+08:002012-09-13T16:12:14.502+08:00amazing collection.amazing collection.Edithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12743536843148739774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1222156107435210447.post-86151336646981096082012-09-13T13:03:19.830+08:002012-09-13T13:03:19.830+08:00Hah!

Now with bookdepository and no shipment charge, the hoarder in me gets overboard. I probably stop when I run out of storage space for my books.<br />ps. thank you for visiting my site.

Yah, I have the same problem. Sometimes two recipes appear in different books and I actually compare the two as if I am doing scientific analysis. And I am also fickle minded and can't make up my mind which one to try and I end up cooking something I have cooked before. Hah!
