Delicious!


So, this is not the most attractive food picture I've ever taken (nor is it the healthiest food we've ever eaten), but it was very tasty.
It's Nacho Spuds from Rachael Ray's website, and it combines two of my very favorite foods--potatoes and nachos.
If you're curious to know which other web-based recipes I've tried and have bookmarked to try at a future date, check out my delicious account.
Delicious is a social bookmarking site--users can save their bookmarks on their computer, and then they are accessible to anyone from any computer (you can also choose to "hide" some bookmarks you don't care to share). One of the main advantages is that you can "tag" (label) bookmarks to help you find them back, without having to put them in a hierarchy of folders.
For example, if you look at my top ten tags on the right side of my account, you can start browsing by clicking "recipe", then "main", then "meat" if you want to find the above recipe. Or if you simply want to see all the dessert recipes, you can start by clicking "dessert."
I also look at other things on the web--you'll find cleaning hints, book reviews, and other sites of interest. If you only see the "Top Ten Tags" when you first click over there, you need to click on the little triangle next to "All Tags" to open up the list of over 50 tags that I use.
Enjoy the browsing--I'd love to hear what your favorite sites are--let me know if you sign up for delicious!
And hopefully it will give you some recipes to browse for a while, as we are going to basically do a cooking ban here in a couple weeks once we start showing the house. We'll see how that goes.
