Handwritten Recipes

I used to have a very unorganized way of keeping recipes.
I just kept them.
If I needed one…I’d search.
I knew it was there…somewhere….and eventually I’d find it.

It drove my daughter crazy.

So, she organized.
She took all my recipes and put them in a book.
Birthday present joy.

Most of my recipes are handwritten.
They are worn and smudged.
I love them.
I really love them.
My daughter knows I love them so she placed my worn recipe in the page along with a fresh, typed version.

YaY.

Some of those recipes were written by my Mom and Gramma.
Some are torn pieces of hurriedly written scribbles.
Memories of calling Mom to ask how to make spaghetti sauce or chili or sloppy joes…

I hope we never lose handwriting.

Handwritten recipes.
Handwritten notes.
Getting a card or letter in the mail…
Priceless.

It’s old school.
It’s personality.
As Jim Croce sang…it’s time in a bottle…

It’s wonderful.

And having an organized recipe book is wonderful too.
