I'm planning a New Years' party and going through my recipes. Most of my recipes are in text files on my computer but I couldn't remember the recipe for Baked Chocolate Pudding so I looked in my recipe box and realized that there is a lot of history there. My Grandmothers, my mum and me and some written down and credited to people I don't think I ever met or locations I never knew. Things like 'The Regina Recipe' for scalloped potatoes.

After muddling through the recipe cards I'm not sure I should be keeping them digitally because it is so nice to see the handwriting and know who wrote them.
