I don't trust storing my recipes on computers after losing a hard drive so I store my recipes on paper along with cookbooks. When I get a good online recipe, I print it out, and chop it up as small as possible.

I started a food blog and took pictures of the stuff I cooked.

The recipes I try are usually easy Asian recipes so that makes it easier to type them out. I'll give credit to the owner of the recipe if I got it from somewhere online.

Having it online makes it easier for me to look for a specific recipe using keywords.

simcooks: Nice Looking blog! It that Spring Roll Recipe a Vietnamese spring roll? I had a friend that made killer spring rolls, but lost touch with her. A couple a years ago, I cut a spring roll recipe out of the paper around the Chinese New Year, which was a Vietnamese version, but I lost it. I think the Vietnamese add carrots, or at least something that is orange.

You wouldn't believe the number of people I've run into that store all of their digital pictures on a computer and then the drive fails. Gone. Computers work great when working, but when things go south and you need to get back something it's never easy. That's true even when you have a good backup of the disk. So I wouldn't bet my recipe list on my hard drive and keep them on paper!

I have to agree with Dr. Pepper about not storing my good recipes on the computer since you never no when your computer will decide to stop cooperating with you. I have a box that has recipes from my mom. I also have lots of recipes that just sit on top and next to the box. Maybe one day I will have time to put them in the recipe box.

Thanks oldbay!

Vietnamese spring roll: they usually have carrots, shrimp and rice vermicelli in them and definitely no turnip! I think they use rice paper (they call it 'banh trang') versus the spring roll pastry sheets I use.

I love Vietnamese spring rolls with their sweet dipping sauce. If I can find a good recipe, I'll blog about it and ping you

Oops, I think I have gone completely off tangent to the topic in discussion here

Sorry, but all my recipes are in my head. In fact, I recently tried to write one down and found that I could not. I know how to make all of them, but I don't measure anything and have no idea how to tell someone how to make something without showing them.
