I recently realized that me taking notes in my cookbooks could end up being "grandma's handwritten recipe cards" 50+ years from now and got a little emotional, especially since the first and only drawer my grandpa cleaned after my grandma died was apparently her recipe drawer and his kids (my mom and her siblings) still haven't quite forgiven him decades later, even though he has since died. Recipes, dumb, delicious, and otherwise, are so important and so telling!

Wow, congrats on setting up the recipe archive. I have no idea if I'm an early subscriber or not, so I have no idea what I'm missing, but I have over time made my own personal archive by saving the friday emails in a big dumb folder so I can do a word search.
