Let me tell you about "My Recipe Box".
The actual plexiglass recipe box was purchased years ago from the company... Perdue Farms, Inc.

When we moved to Texas, I had a painting of Daisy Duck in the kitchen.
This was painted by a very talented family friend... her name is Michele. At the time she was a young teenager.
I had always meant to get the picture framed but never did and then in the move, it was damaged, but I was able to take a photograph to remember her exemplary artwork.

I have had that photo on the front of my recipe box for many years.

This particular recipe box does not have any recipes in it, but rather, has recipes that I have tried in the past... the ones I would like to repeat... and lists the name of the recipe, where it can be found (book, magazine, recipe folder, other recipe box), the page number and also rates the recipe.

I started this little filing system years ago, before computers became popular and continue to log my recipes in this way.
(Unfortunately, I am running out of room to store all the past magazines I have collected since the 1960's and a few before that!)

Today I went in search of one of those recipes and within minutes had my hand on a favorite recipe for Coeur à la Crème that appeared in a Gourmet magazine... November... 1988... page 182, and alongside the recipe were notations I had made at the time.

Perhaps I will someday log my recipes on the computer but for now this works just fine and everyday I look at that precious painting/photo of Daisy Duck and remember the kindness of Michele for painting that for me.
