 LdF> Thanks for the hundreds of recipies you post in here!  I can't use a
 LdF> recipe book, so the ones you post here are really appreciated!
Hi there.  Just an odd question; for which reason don't cookbooks work for 
you?  There are a lot of vision-impaired people in the Cooking echoes; I know 
one does have a Braille cookbook, but his one book takes up more shelf space 
than most Americans have in their kitchens.   There may also be some people 
with dyslexia around too; I know what reading is like for people with that 
one.  I went through college with two guys who had it.  Me, I'm just an 
ordinary computer freak cook in glasses.:-)
 LdF> Where do you get all of them?  What is Mealmaster?
I have no idea where Gigi gets all of those recipes, but the Internet is a 
good place to start - places like www.cookbooks.com, and 
http://soar.berkeley.edu.  The latter has a ton of recipes already in 
MealMaster format.  Mealmaster is a computerized cookbook, for all intents 
and purposes.  It's a specialized database that, if I remember correctly, 
will resize and give nutritional breakdowns for most recipes.  It's also 
shareware, and I'm told registering it can be worthwhile, especially if you 
have A LOT of recipes.:)
What do you like to cook?  I'm mostly an oven type, but branch out to 
stovetops when the mood strikes. [aka when I want something to eat! ]
