Reply #25: I just remembered a tip

[merci_me]

I've used this for a good 20 years and even sent it to Heloise.

I doesn't keep me from being messy, but it helps me keep track of notes or recipes, so I don't lose them under egg shells or whatever.

I took a page from one of the photo albums. The kind you can slide 4x6 photos into. Now I have photos of the grandkids in them and thumb tacked it to the inside of a wall cabinet, so when I open the cabinet, they're right at eye level. Mine is the door of the cabinet where the drinking glasses are, so it's nice to see the photos every time I open the cabinet.

When I'm using a new recipe, or have notes to myself for a major cooking day, I slide all the recipes and notes into the 6 pockets (right over the kiddie pix) and I have them right there at eye level. I sure beats lifting bags of sugar or whatever, trying to find where I laid my note or find it got wet and the ink ran. And of course, having a cabinet door wide open while I'm working is par for my kitchen anyway.
