 What to do with all those magazines I found a pretty handy solution, (for me anyway). I scan them into files sorted by category. They can be printed or transfrerred to a handheld. The same can be done with those old cookbooks that take up space that belongs to the good ones.

| I had a rather unexpected solution to my magazine problem. I used to get everything. Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Saveur, Fine Cooking (my favorite - love the food science section), a few Cooks Ill., etc. These things were piling up everywhere, in addition to a bunch of baskets I never put anything in and way more art mags than I will ever be able to gleen anything from. Well, at one point, I sort of inherited a dog with some ... adjustment problems. I had all my mags, and most of my empty baskets, stored at "chew level". Theo, as he came to be known, chewed almost all that stuff over a period of a few months. It got to be a joke after awhile with my roommate that Theo was "helping me get rid of stuff I didn't need anyway". I would come home, and there would be chewed Jan. 1995 Gourmet in the middle of the floor - too far gone to save. The thing is, when my dog first started doing this, I went through all those mags and baskets at "chew level", and I picked out the ones that were extra important. I put those away. I didn't have enough storage to move the other ones, so I just had to leave them where they were. And Theo took care of them. I haven't missed one of them yet. If you need to rent my Theo, let me know  He likes Gourmet the best. RF

| Thanks, Athenaeus. Do you need a dog? Just kidding. Theo is a hand full, but I love him. I'm wondering, though. If one goes to Gourmet's online database of recipes (which includes at least some attributed to "Bon Appetit" - you know, epicurious.com), does that have all the recipes from the mags? I'm just curious to know how this database compares to getting (and storing) the mags in paper version. Also, does Fine Cooking have a similar database? RF

| I use epicurious.com frequently and I subscribe to both Gourmet and Bon Appetit. I usually can find the recipes I've pulled on there. I like to read the reviews to see what others thought about it before I spend the time. But I know I have a couple 'half recipes' that I've looked for and didn't find. You know...continued on p.xx, but p.xx is missing from the pile.  They're older ones though. |
