Hold me

People have taken to using their computers for recipes instead of good old-fashioned recipe books.  I need the physical cookcook or recipe card.  There is something about the history the food-splattered recipe cards and books represent.  It seems ridiculous to me that everytime I use my laptop I am so concerned with not getting it dirty.  I think while cooking – just be free and get ingredients all over the place – it is more fun that way.  This past Christmas I was given a couple vintage metal recipe card holders and for my birthday, my good friend Wrex made me a cookbook stand which I LOVE!  There are so many different types of stands and boxes to choose from.

My awesome stand Wrex made

I love these little drawers

This is pretty much awesome.

Vintage metal recipe boxes.  Yes.

Cookbook holders and boxes are a must for me and I will use them forever.
