I have been reading and contributing to this newsgroup for nine or ten months. In that time I have collected ( on paper, not on line - sigh ) a lot of really great stuff. Some of it I have tried on my family and some of it I cook when, for some reason, I have to cook for myself ( My wife and kids dont like lots of garlic and hot stuff, but I do. ) Perhaps everyone might be interested in some statistics of the type of recipes that have appeared here. The following categories were created "on the wing". That is to say if a recipe came in that didn't fit an established category, it got put in misc. When enough ( two or more ) recipes of the same category were placed there, I would create a new category. This, then, is the sum of my recipe collecting........ CATEGORY NUMBER COLLECTED Meat----------------------------35 Appetizer-----------------------9 Salad---------------------------5 Eggs----------------------------7 Pancakes, Waffles---------------5 Soup----------------------------8 Fish, Seafood-------------------6 Cakes, Pies---------------------38 Cookies-------------------------8 Italian-------------------------11 Oriental------------------------23 Fowl----------------------------24 Sandwich, Fillings--------------4 Vegetables----------------------16 Beverages-----------------------12 Misc.---------------------------16 Desert--------------------------26 Beer, Wine (making)-------------6 Candy---------------------------21 Bread---------------------------11 To the best of my ability, none of the above are duplicates. While you may argue that a particular category may or may not be descriptive, all that is necessary is that I be able to find recipes when I want to. I'm not really sure what the heck this all proves, but its really evident that the thing that people most want to share is yummy deserts, sweets, and meat recipes. Happy Concluding, Chuck Young at ......ihps3!ihuxi!cjy
