This started out as a cookbook. Well, at least it was the intention to write a cookbook. One of those that you make for your kids so they can cook the dishes they grew up with.
Have you seen some of the software for making cookbooks? Rigid templates. Expecting at least one photo for every recipe? Do my kids really need to see a photo of meatloaf to know what it looks like? I tried working with one bit of software but it was so cumbersome that progress was very slow and then it stopped.
Then I read this article about cookbooks headed for extinction. Something clicked in my head: Why don't I make the cookbook with blogging software? I should be able to format it the way I want. I can correct recipes if I find a mistake. I can add recipes that I forgot. I can add photos to recipes I have already posted. And maybe others who aren't my kids will find a dish or two that they like (my clam chowder is really good). I'll give it a try and we'll see how it goes.
