Now I mainly have some dry eye right when I first wake up and no issues reading or other activities, but I eat walnut oil almost daily and sometimes quite a bit of it (usually salad days). Some other people I know do prefer sprinkling Flax on everything from burritos to salads to muffins. I just didn't care for the stuff and I'm pretty into foods of all kinds. My doc said for dry eye you need a minimum of two tablespoons of flax a day in addition to other omega 3s. I did not find fish supplements helped. A specialist I saw said that you'd have to take about 15 fish pills per day to start to see a difference. Frankly, I'd rather eat fish, but I like fish and we eat it at least once a week, usually more. :>) I know, off topic. Feel free to PM if you have questions. I've tried all kinds of things and I'm pretty happy with my current diet, but as I said, working walnut oil into my lifestyle is very easy for me. |

![]() When I was at university, now many moons ago, one of the chemistry professors ran a series of freebee voluntary lectures on the chemistry of cooking. Was very interesting and changed my approach completely, recipes did not come into it at all; unfortunately I now only recall the basics. Soon after that I had a holiday job with a company that made, among other things, bread baking tins for commercial bakers. They gave me a few and so was then into my first real experiments ![]() John Last edited by AnotherCat; 12-22-2014 at 11:50 PM. |

And some classic books will always be welcome in paper I think. Like "A Christmas Carol" for example. And I imagine if a person practices a given religion that they might want to have the text of their belief in paper (even if it is available in ebook format).

I no longer buy either craft or cookbooks, but that is because I have tons of both. Today, I only acquire digital ones, mostly magazines. One REQUIREMENT of a digital copy is the ability to print the recipe/project. It's too hard for complicated stuff to be shuffling from one page to another on my Nook HD while cooking or working the project IMHO. Once I've made the recipe and made notes, it goes into my keeper cookbook (it's like a scrapbook of recipes), so I don't have to remember what darn book I got that fabulous dessert from. Of course, if I can't download the magazine to my printer, I can't print that recipe/project. That is why I don't buy them from B&N any longer. For awhile, Amazon wasn't letting you download magazines to printers, but after lots of complaints, they fixed that and once again, I can print from my magazines.
Anyway, if I was starting again, I'd still buy paper cookbooks for my main cookbooks. But I refuse to buy glamorized cookbooks. What a waste of space. My experience with these types of cookbooks is yeah, sure, they look pretty, but the the recipes tend to have more errors. In addition, ebook cookbooks are easy to pass by when you are looking for something interesting to cook - you forget that you have it unless you have it always loaded (which isn't practical for me - it slowed my Kindle WAY WAY down to have so many ebooks on there.

That would actually be most of my reference books--bibles and commentaries. Also books that I really, really like--Unbroken is the most recent one in this category that I bought.

But I understand your confusion having been there myself. Recipes are often by measured volume, weight or just a pinch. I spent $15 CAD on a digital kitchen scale which converts lbs. to kg. and back again with the push of a button. Saves me from looking it up or thinking. Helen |
