I do all of the above! Except, frozen brownies are delicious that isn't the best prevention, but at least being behind the freezer door makes them a little easier to forget about.

When I got to cook, I write everything on a 4x6 lined index card, that way it's all in front of me, and I can jot down adjustments I make or comments. Then, sometimes I re-write it neatly on a new index card (or if the changes aren't too much and I didn't spill I just keep the original one), and sometimes I type it into my computer, depending on when I think I'll use it again and what I'll use it for. I like having things stored in the computer, but I like the size and shape of the index card over a full piece of paper or printout.

When I started doing this my original plan was the print out photos of the recipe to glue to the back of the card, if that helps anyone. Haven't done it yet though (and it's been at least 5 years that I've been doing this).

Very clever!

I'm finally making sauce out of the seconds tomatoes I bought last Sunday... oops. But then it's going on top of some tortellini with basil. Yum!

I've also got plans to bake some pignoli cookies and do something with the nectarines I've failed to eat fresh.

I've seen these at Wake Up Little Suzie in D.C. (Cleveland Park). They are super cute--especially the little decorations at the top!
