Resolution 2. I'm going to get my cookbooks out and at least once a month find
a recipe and cook it.
I've already started on that one, cooking "Morrocan Chicken" from Betty
Crocker's Slow Cooker Cookbook (P 118 if you have that cookbook) yesterday.

I've even managed to get all the dishes done in the aftermath. I ate about 1/3
last night, 1/3 for lunch today and I've got 1/3 left over for later. It's also
the first time I ever cooked couscous which is a lot easier to cook than rice.
Mine didn't turn out as pretty as the picture in the cookbook, but I bet it was
a lot tastier than trying to eat that picture.
I took a photo (with the K-1) of the recipe page & illustration that I'll post
to Flickr later so that this really will be only SEMI-OT once I post the PESO
If you get a copy of Paprika, which is probably one of the best apps ever
written, certainly one of my most-used, you don't need to take photos of the
recipe pages, you can generally download them in the blink of an eye, and
follow them while you cook as the screen will stay on.

Here's what your chicken recipe looks like in the iPad version:

It also does shopping lists, meal plans etc. And you can make notes about the
recipes. A really well-designed bit of software - not something I say very
often after 40 years in software development.
That's pretty cool. Displays approximately 8"x10" on my 32" monitor. It's almost
as large as the page in the cookbook.
I'll look into it, even though I'm not really a smart-phone kind of guy. I just
barely figured out how to email the recipe photos to myself.
My latest smart-phone disaster is "texting". I had to "text" an RSVP to a friend
for a New Years Day party I'm going to later today and got the reply "That's
good. Who are you?"
Ain't technology wonderful?
It's painful because the "keyboard" is SO TINY it takes me a long, long, long,
... time to pick out letters individually with a stylus. And don't get me
started on "auto-correct", which should be called "auto-defect".
