How I did it
It made me
Oh so very happy. 
How I did it: Planned, planned, and did more planning. We flew into Anchorage (frequent flyer miles), rented cars, and enjoyed ourselves tremendously. Anchorage, Soldatna, Homer, Seward, Whittier, Palmer/Wasilla area, Denali National Park and back to Anchorage and home. Read how I did it…

One good thing (even tho the books are no longer pristine) is that when I try a recipe I note on that page the month/year I tried it. I also note whether it was good or not and if I made changes to it. Funny thing is, I run across recipes I marked as great … and I never remember trying them in the first place.
Another thing … when I first get the cookbook I glance at all the recipes and then mark the ones I think would be good to try. Inside the front cover I write a small description (beef … page 33) thus saving time when I really need to find a recipe fast.
I have a program (pc-based) called Micro Cook Book. Not only does it have many recipe books on the program, it also allows you to sort by ingredient, and it allows you to change the number of servings (while updating the recipe for you). But the reason I like it best … I was able to input all of my favorite tried and true recipes and then print them out and keep them in a binder.
