Seriously, I cook a lot when I am home. I would not think of mounting my NC or any other tablet in the kitchen so I can use recipes from it.
Whenever I cook from a recipe, I print it out and read it three or four times. The last time, I go through my kitchen checking off the ingredients I have on hand and putting a dash next to the ones I have to purchase.
I may also jot down some possible ingredient substitutions or make silly comments in the margins.
And I take the printed recipe to the store with me.
When I cook, I am all over the recipe and stuff get's splashed on it. Good.
Finally, after the meal, my wife and I will note the bottle of wine we had with it and rate the recipe on our 5 star scale.
Our refrigerator has our top 5 recipes in the original paper forms with all our scribbles, splashes and messiness on them.
No, we would never trade that ritual for a tablet.
