[nazar]

dont worry tarasis  l am doing the same thing
looking for recipes and putting into a word doc file for me to later print out when needed

[andiesenji]

Ever since I got my first Mac, in August 1984, I have been putting recipes in various formats and have had numerous applications, including:
Mangia, Mastercook, RecipeBook, Mise en Place, Computer Cookbook(FileMaker), Recipe Manager, Cuisine, BusyCooks Recipe, and others I can't recall.

I keep going back to using  TextEdit documents and just keeping them in the appropriate folder.  It's easier for me to cut and paste the entire recipe, with photos and attachments and title them the way I want.
I have a main Recipes folder and with sub folders for TMX Recipes, Bread, Cookies, Soups, Ethnic Recipes, Regional American with sub folders for each region but with a Mac, using the search application I think is the best; (Find Any File) they are all sorted alphabetically and it is easy to search by any word in the title.  "Ginger" brings up 326 results, including Gingerbread, Gingery snaps, etc.

"Recipe" gives me 13,483 results, including 138 folders which can then be sorted by "Kind" which puts all the folders at the top of the list.

Some of my older recipes are in Word format and some in SimpleText but they convert easily to TextEdit.

Slightly off track but I hate........................it when DD's computer dies and needs an internal facelift and I have to resort to my netbook. Which seems very small when I'm at home and very slow.

[Frozzie]

oh bummer cookie..hope it gets sorted soon 

i still swear by evernote as you can copy and paste whatever recipe, create all your folders plus it syncronises with all computers and iphone/ipads etc and you can search for whatever your after or feel like...i have just paid for the full version only because i kept going over the limit and it kept blocking as i was adding alot of files each month but most dont go near it ie the quota per month...

its easy and simple to use and you have it on all computer items and you can put a recipe or note in one or several folders and arrange them how you want plus you can add whatever photos and name or title the file whateve ryou wish...anyway works perfectly for me and the free verison is perfectly adequate.

I've been using the Paprika app on my iPad and love it. It's also on my MacBookPro and they sync, which is very handy.

Nah it doesn't take the this thread off track, the subject is, after all, just "I hate ..."

I understand the thing about working on a smaller computer, I find programming on a 13" screen very cramped even if the resolution isn't that low. Its kind of a mental block.

Here we go again .

I REALLY hate..............Australia Post. So far this last 3 months they have:   lost a very large book from Amazon, lost 3 copies of magazines that DD and I subscribe to, (different magazines), delivered our mail to other homes and vice versa. Then to top it all off this morning I rang the bank as they haven't sent out some documents for a club I am treasurer of and they were posted 2 weeks ago from the city centre. They only have about 12km to travel.
I am sick of complaining. They are useless.

Ok, I feel better now. Must do this on Twitter too.

[Frozzie]

apparently Aus Post are also havig alot of problems re cards going missing...someone keeps steeling them as they think easy money..i know of a couple of people recently who havent received card they know have been sent for birthdays etc and the post office has told them its becoming a problem..

oh and i hate French customer service...does NOT exiist and the customer is never right...very frustrating...

also hate when you cancel a service with registered letter and all as requested and then they keep charging you for months on end...sometimes I wonder if people are actually working..

cookie, have you tried to track your package from your Amazon account? Anytime I have ordered from Amazon it has gone via UPS. You can also try emailing Amazon to say that your package has not arrived - they are very quick at sorting things out.

Yes thanks CP we did all that. Apparently the couriers give it to Aust Post to deliver. What had happened is the Aust Post twerp said there was no such address and sent it back to Amazon. They were very good about it and sent another. It was a big book (larger than A4) on cancer that DD had ordered. DD had it couriered directly to her at work the second time.
