I love them, they don't pile up like they use to, how ever I do seem to attract them. It is usually one the first things I do in Houston airport. I go to the closest news stand and by Food Network, Martha Stewart, Cooking Light and Runner's World. The runner's world makes me feel like not such a nerd.
I scour every page, check the recipes for ingredients to determine if could make it in Honduras, I ooh and ahhhh and love every
page! I usually read through them more than once. I make note of the recipes I think I might like to try ....However they eventually end up in a basket, and there they stay. After time I can't remember what I wanted in each one, and I really do not want to go back through all of them trying to remember so they stay in the basket....
About 6, 8 10 oh, I don't know how many years ago, I started a binder of ideas from christmas magazines. I would pull the pages of decorating, table settings, recipes, gift wrapping ideas I liked and I put them in plastic sheet protectors in a binder. My theory was to take what I liked so I would remember but not have mounds of magazines, (which are mostly adds anyway..sorry pet peeve). See the thing is I am waayyy to OCD to tear them out and just fold them up and stick them in my recipe box..oh my no..um nope! So I started a binder! I have a Thanksgiving section and a Christmas section..I KNOW I AM SUCH A NERD!!! Everything is easy to see, easy to use. And the best thing... all NEAT and in one place and no more piles of magazines!
So I recently decided to do the same with "rest of the year" magazines.
Maybe this will help you, or all you get from this is a deeper look at my nerdy self. But, all I can say is my daughter use to laugh at my holiday binder, YEP NOW SHE HAS ONE TOO!!!
