Okay so I went on another recipe book buying spree recently, and I wanted a way to compile all the recipes to easily look through them. At first I tried eatyourbooks, but I had quite a few cookbooks that weren't indexed, so I eventually decided to go with Paprika to organize my recipes, and it also even has a pantry tracker! I'm almost done inputting all of my recipes that I have access to, I just have most of one more recipe book left, but I've already got more than 5000 recipes indexed! Just the name of them and where I can find the full recipe, though. I have maybe a few dozen fully written out and everything. My plan is to transcribe as I go, so that I'm only putting in that effort for recipes that I'm actually using. 

It's a lot of fun! I like looking through the recipes. The hard part is figuring out how to organize them once they're in my recipe organizer app. So many recipes use just a little bit of meat, like bacon fried rice, and I don't want to put that into the "pork meals" folder but it's not like I can put it in the "vegetarian meals" folder either. So right now everything that's an entree is loose in its own folder... which is over 1500. 

There's way too many recipes to ever make... it would take me over 13 years even if I cooked one recipe a day every day! But I really like having them accessible. 

The next thing I want to make is fried rice, but it's super annoying that the rice needs to be day-old rice haha. I have to summon up the energy to cook two days in a row! I'll try to make the white rice today, at least, so I can make fried rice tomorrow. After that, I'm thinking maybe yakisoba? Idk, I don't really see the point in planning ahead too much in this regard.
