My grandmom has stacks of recipes she's never tried and I'm trying very hard to avoid it. So untried recipes get clipped and stuck in the book but good ones get written in. :)Stephanie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13324411278252488163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-29476976002718433262013-01-28T19:34:27.304-05:002013-01-28T19:34:27.304-05:00I keep a bunch.

I do have two "everything" books that have a bit of everything. I can typically find stuff in them even if it seems like it would get out of hand.

No writing, though. I write a recipe book, separately. I guess I'm just too organised, even in my disorganisement, to put everything into one book!Hana - Marmotahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03532515160608083460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-16209022414876984732013-01-28T12:35:23.787-05:002013-01-28T12:35:23.787-05:00I have a "commonplace" binder for Civil ...I have a "commonplace" binder for Civil War reenacting :)<br /><br />Instructions on caring for leather, brass, wool and steel, how to field clean and strip a musket, your instructions on making the dog tent, how to build ammo boxes, how to bleach tent fabric, how to bake hardtack, how to pack a knapsack/blanket roll, how to fold my great coat, how to wash uniforms, basic Casey's manual of arms, table of organization of a US Army division, receipts from sutler purchases and trip expenses, names 7 phone numbers of the company, trip directions etc etc....WannabeSoldierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12358110028731137921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163330007385367610.post-24095025435624725272013-01-28T12:33:33.677-05:002013-01-28T12:33:33.677-05:00Ghaaaa!
