I have been subscribing to Delicious Magazine since it started. Every 2 years or so I go through the oldest 2 years of the collection and actually tear out the recipes I have used or intend to use one day. I end up with a pile of pages and clippings but at least 2 years of magazines leave the bookcase.

| The tags are for the things I want to make |
Surprisingly my tastes do change. It was 2003 and 2004 that went this past weekend. Sometimes I looked at a recipe and thought 'when did I ever think I was going to make that'! Then there were the treasures that I had skipped over.

| Time to cull again |
It takes a whole weekend to go through 2 years of books. I cull a second time when I go through the loose pages and clippings.
 |
| The deserts |
After I have culled a second time I go to the big grey ring binder and throw out any recipe that I haven't cooked in the past couple of years and put the 'new' ones in their place.

| Working outside |
It was enjoyable working on the outside table looking at the sky and waiting for the storms to come. Finally finished at 8pm on Sunday night - successful weekend project finished.
I am not going to wait 2 years for the next cull. It will be right after Christmas - that is why it is stage one…..
