Don't forget that when you are listening to a book from the BARD site and
you come across a recipe or section you want to come back to later you can
always insert a bookmark. They will always come up when you are set in
Bookmark Jump and when you have that book in your player or in your flash
drive. It is a nice way to mark the recipes you are interested in.

Hi everyone,
I don't have a cell phone but I'm really trying to work hard to use what
technology I've got. There is a local service accessed by phone. the
grocery
ads are read and recorded. I used to call up the number and frantically
try
to write as fast as the reader talked. I'm not any good at listening and
writing Braille at the same time. Finally one day I realized I could
record
the ads with my Victor Stream using my speakerphone.
Even some of the audio cookbooks on the BARD site aren't divided in
sectionds. I have to remind myself to use the different heading levels to
access the recipes.
Be blessed,
Nancy Martin

How does that work out? My messaging system only holds messages for
fifteen

One thing I have been doing for myself is reading recipes into a message
box
on my phone. Then when I go into the kitchen I do not bring my computer
or
a book in there. Then when I make the meal I just erase the phone
message.

Unfortunately, brailled cookbooks seem to be less and less popular,
even
though they are the best format for in the kitchen. I personally
wouldn't
want my Pac Mate or Plex Talk Plus or Library of Congress digital player
in the kitchen where there is a chance of getting them, shall we say, in
need of repair? due to food particles. Brailled cookbooks, on the other
hand, especially if they are using thermoform paper, can easily be
cleaned
off, suffering no consequences.

Hi Nancy,
I'm a Braille user and love Braille cookbooks, so any resources you
would like to share would be appreciated here. I don't care for the
cookbooks on tape either for the exact same reason you spoke of.
I don't feel you are being pushy at all. I think any information you
would
like to share is going to be appreciated here on the list. Some folks do
like audio cookbooks, some still prefer the Braille.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like I have an
easier
time now finding cookbooks in audio formats than in Braille. They take
up
less space and are probably more popular in today's tech-oriented world.
Rhonda

Hi everyone,
My brain isn't shopping at the moment and I would like your opinion
about
my
latest idea. Would anyone be helped if I listed all my Braille
cookbooks,
possibly where they came from and perhaps what they cost? Would it be
better
to post information about the sites such as Horizons for the Blind,
National
Braille Association, National Braille Press, etc. I usually like to
check
things out myself. One book might be meaningless to me but just what
someone
else needs. At the same time, I don't want to leave non-Braille users
feeling left out. I hate cookbooks on cassette because they usually are
not
tone indexed. I realize that I need to send the promised recipes before
I
start another project. I just want your thoughts. Am I coming across as
too
pushy? I don't want to do that at all.
