directions

I need directions when I cook. I only have a few meals that I can pull from my head. Even if I have made that same dinner or dessert a bunch of times I still need a recipe. This dysfunction makes things difficult because then I have to search for a paper that sounds like something I want to eat. Which book was that in? Was it on a random paper somewhere? Will I like this? Also, because of this need for directions I then forget what I have cooked and what I can cook and what my family likes to eat.... So, mostly I am doing this extra blog for myself, so I can have one place to search for dinner...but feel free to try our recipes.
