Perhaps you have a drawer full of recipes you've clipped from
magazines, newspapers, etc. But it takes forever to sort through
them when you want to try something new, and you usually go back
to your tried and true recipes. Here are some suggestions for
getting them organized.  Dorothy Lehmkuhl and Delores Cotter
Lamping, authors of Organizing for the Creative Person suggest
the following for all the recipes we've clipped and never used:
Put them in an attractive box, secure it with a pretty ribbon,
label carefully and "use them as a boat anchor....."  Kidding
aside, most organizational authors do suggest as the first step
in getting organized to discard recipes we've never used and
aren't likely to use. If you just can't bear to throw them away
-- yet -- put them in a separate folder or envelope and date it.
If you haven't used them in a year, toss!  Decide on a Storage
