4;; Most disastrous food failure?

6;; How do you organize your recipes?
My vegan cookbooks are stacked on top of each other largest to smallest. Zine’s included. I have recipes all through my journals that are tagged and labeled for easy access. Any printouts from the internet I have organized by the type of dish in one big, black binder covered in AR stickers. There are also bookmarks on my computer and random papers strewn about from times I did not have my notebook or have acquired the recipe pre-written.
7;; Compost, trash, or garbage disposal?
Trash, recycling, and compost! I have my own compost. I don’t trust the city with my good food scraps. They belong in my garden.

Are we talking whole foods or dishes? Without knowing I cannot proceed.
9;; Fondest food memory from your childhood?
I have too many! Probably that period in my life where I would get the frosted mini-wheats and saw off the unfrosted size on the edge of the box leaving a deep fluffy mess of shredded wheat at the bottom of the bag. This would irritate my best friend Kathleen so much, and I would giggle.
