    My cookbooks and mags are like my porn stash. Every now and then when I'm not getting any (yummy food), I drag them out and drool over them for a while
    This is me. I love my cook books, but I also have display folders of ones I've found online or photocopied/hand written from ppl, mainly MIL or my grandma. That being said I have 2 or 3 that I use much more than others.

    Another one here where cookbooks are porn!
    I love most of my cookbooks. I would only ever think of getting rid of some, there are just a few that never get looked at (well meaning gifts that were off the mark).

    I do often google recipes, but I find it impractical to look at a screen and cook. I prefer to refer to paper, but of course that might change if I get a tablet

    In fact, I got off on a couple of back issues of Family Circle only about half an hour ago.

    I had too many taht I did not look at and they sold really well at a garage sale we had. only 1 or $2 each but they went. Still have a few I can't get rid of. kept the old women's weekly ones. Not sure why as I don't look at them! think postage would make them not worth selling on ebay.

    Yay! Well done. I gave away a heap when pg with DD because I had them in her room and we needed to clear it out so a baby could actually fit in there lol! We have a select few now. Just recently though, DH was looking for one that I'd gotten rid of. First time in 10 years lol! I might do another cull soon. I love google for recipes. We've got a few favourites from there now.
