Recipes.........

  Re: (...)
I have decided to go through my recipes and begin deleting some of them. Whenever I see a recipe I think sounds good, I copy it to a cookbook in MC. I presently have over 2000 recipes in my one cookbook, it contains favorites and those I've copied, including those that I now figure I'll NEVER make. Do y'all ever cull through your recipes and throw some out?
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

Holly would like me to...I actually have over 1 million PRINTED out from various web sites...some even have your name on them Billy. Some have Sharon's, Lorraine's, Jean's and even Daphne's Daddy's BBQ Sauce that she shared on another forum. I had to print the story of that one too...that way when I make it I can make sure the story of the recipe lives on with those I share the "finished product" with.

I don't think I get rid of any recipes. I try to eliminate doubles however...

AWWWW! Thanks LJ!

I recently went through and reorganized my MC9 and culled some of the stuff, but not much...mostly duplicates and the few I'd made that were bombs.

I keep the "bombs" so I know them if I find them again so I don't "bomb" again.

As for the BBQ Sauce...I am trying it when I do my 22 pound whole pork shoulder later this spring. The stories behind recipes are so much a part of the recipe so they need to be shared...I bet someone is going to ask about what we are talking about so if I were you I'd get ready to share it with more friends that are going to appreciate it just as much as I do...

I do, Billy. Every once in a while, I eliminate recipes that I know will never get made for one reason or another. It gets overwhelming for me otherwise. Then, I go through what's left and plan some meals that haven't been made in a while. That Indian style chicken breast is one that recently got put on the to-do list. We loved that.

Great minds and all that, Billy! I'm going thru my M.C. cookbooks right now also - some of the recipes I wonder what the h*ll I was thinking saving them. This project will keep me off the streets for a while...

I have one recipe in particular that I wonder why I kept, it's called "Priestchoker." Don't know any priests so don't know why I'd want to choke 'em.

As a former Alter Boy I am not going there at all Billy. That is twice in one week I've had to say this, "Shame on you Billy!"

Can't say as I do remember Jean, but from the looks of it I definitely don't want to go there

LJ, it's really called Malfatti, or Strozzapreti, or Priestchokers. I have had it a long time, but never made it and have no idea where it came from. Here's the recipe:
