gaelicgrime 1 month, 2 weeks ago said: a search half as good as going outside GR I have been looking for many things, and have found that searching outside GR using a regular search engine and adding "grouprecipes" to the search produces very awesome results.
I would also like to be able to search for the comments I have left because I often forget to bookmark a recipe and then forget to come back and rate after I have made it...
hopefully nobody hates me because I have not returned ;)

I've not been trusting this site too well and have been printing recipes out lest they are never to be found again.

Borinda I print out the recipe right when I see it if it is something I am going to try. I keep all me recipes in a 3 ring binder and then I have a section up front of waiting to be tried, because if I put it in with the rest I would forget LOL. once it gets tried it either goes into the appropriate section or if its bad the circular file LOL.

And great idea for the recipes, Laurie. I used to keep a list of recipes I wanted to try, but then there were times that I could not tell from the title which recipe I had in mind for that day and had to search through them again anyway.

I have the three ring binders with recipes in a corner next to my stand mixer in my kitchen. That's a reminder to me to try something new and like you, a way to not have to search for a recipe that sounded so good. Good to be in the company of great minds!!!

I knew there was a recipe posted here called BLT Pie, but the GR search won't search for a word that is less than three letters, ie egg, pie, etc. so I couldn't find it here. Went out of GR and used a search engine and voila! There it was! Thank you, thank you!
gaelicgrime 1 month, 2 weeks ago said: RE: a search half as good as going outside GR Personally for keeping recipes, I have several files within my software and one specifically labeled "collected" which I work VERY hard to maintain attributions, andother called "will" where I put my own creations, etc.
I quit writing paper recipes down long ago because of types of accidents that paper and I have especially in a kitchen (even with sheet protectors etc LOL).
@Borinda, I suspect people will hate me for not returning to add a comment/rating to a recipe I said I would after I made it.
