Thanks Steve!

Sure.

@thejenx , the ancestor with my surname was Dutch. He was a boat builder on Chesapeake Bay during colonial times. The British were in control of things around there in those years so he probably knew inches and ounces.

We call it the Imperial System but that is just a fancy word for what was required of the colonists. Haven't been a colony for 250 years but still married to that system.

Good to see someone else using paper instead of everything on computer . Steve has remarked about how good your peach butter is

I have to or I'd end up with cooking materials all over the monitor while I was trying to make something.

I have a folder with all my canning/freezing recipes. Some of those are simply the insert from the package of pectin for jams and jellies, I have a book that gives critical information for canning or freezing veggies, but several are splattered pages of recipes. Once I get something that works I like to keep it. My computer is not in the kitchen anyway. Paper is a lot more convenient.

I like paper too! I have 2 bindes with recipes. Each is in a document protector. So if I got too close to read it and spilled, I just wipe.
