Even Though I Say I Will, I Know I Won't Ever...

organize my recipes!!! There I said it!!! For years, and years and years, I have been collecting recipes. Every time I see something in a magazine or on the internet I print it or clip it and toss it into my recipe basket. I swear that one day I will go through that basket and organize my recipes, but I know in my heart that I'll never do it.

I think half of the recipes in there, or maybe even more than that, are old and have meat in them or ingredients I wouldn't even put in my mouth any more! I also have every Vegetarian Times magazine I've ever received in my cabinet, because I KNOW there are a ton of good recipes in them. I just never make them.

Irv said that when we retire to Colorado, I will pack up everything in that cabinet, box it up and move it to Colorado....then I'll put it in a cabinet there, and never look at it again just like here.

I must admit, there are some awesome dessert recipes in there that I've never tried, but you just never know...maybe one day I will decide that I like to cook and I'll dig in there and start trying them all!

Sure I will.....

I would like to get them all into a book and have them organized like a regular cookbook would be. You know, I use to even BUY cookbooks, but that was back in the day when I actually cooked. Now I don't even do that unless absolutely necessary. I hate cooking. I really do. It just isn't fun to me. It takes time I don't want to contribute to it and it makes a mess that I then have to clean up, and sometimes the stuff doesn't taste nearly as good as the picture looks. You know what I mean?

Well, last night I did actually make an awesome dish, and I will share it with you tomorrow. The recipe was in my recipe basket, and I made it and it was edible!!!

So, that is my confession. What's yours? Finish this statement, "Even though I say I will, I know I won't ever.....
