Helpful Resources

I included this section because I found so many interesting things on the internet when I was researching and building my site that I wanted to share them with you.

The three librarians in the photo on the left agreed to organize the research.

The 4 sections are:

1. Standard Measurements
2. A recipe resource list plus interesting/unusual food related sites
3. Free Stuff (without a lot of strings attached)
4. Personalized things that relate to food

Enjoy!

http://www.chowhound.com/main.html
As the site says  – "A chowhound is someone who spends nearly every waking moment planning his/her next meal. Whether dining in an expensive cafe or grabbing a quick scrambled egg sandwich to munch on the way to work, chowhounds hate to ingest anything undelicious, and they won't hesitate to go far out of their way for Slightly Better. For a true hound, the curve of diminishing results is more an exciting challenge than an imposing dead end."
