It's ridiculous! Just perhaps request a visit and a magazine in tow when you did! Mmm...cast iron pan... ;)<BR/><BR/>Hi Lissa - smart girl, I'm going to have to start doing some paring soon...it's the "brutally honest" part that's hard to piece out, when you're a foodie like us, it's so hard to pass any recipe by!<BR/><BR/>Hi my fellow Colorado-an, he he I used to have the impulse magazine buying in the stand problem too - I had no option but to subscribe so that I could save some money!! Now I see it, drool, and have to force myself to wait until it comes in the mail...but there are still a few out there that I don't have but still snatch in the checkout stands. I love the ultimatum! He'd say: "Okay, I'll leave you here, and I get the new couch!"<BR/><BR/>Hi Paz!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537200901718762277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16233520.post-1150942498213248262006-06-21T19:14:00.000-07:002006-06-21T19:14:00.000-07:00I definately empathize with the magazine struggle....I definately empathize with the magazine struggle. I have done the cut and paste thing in the past and just had to be brutally honest with myself about what I would actually cook, and save only those recipes. Now I have four photo albums with the clippings in specific sections, but that's better than 100+ magazines in the closet. At least now I can flip through them to see what sounds interesting. Moreover, doing all that sorting convinced me to start paring down my subscriptions so I wouldn't have to do it again in six months - I'm actually starting to go back and it was totally worth it!

The on...Nerissa, he he he - a way around the rule! The only problem is that we've already agreed that we'll spend the $2500 for 2000 lbs. of goodies (I put my foot down with bringing the kitchenaid and the brand new (only nice) furniture we own...)so the rule comes from the fact that the mags are heavy and i'm already bringing a lot :) but I still love my magazines!! maybe I could store them with my mom...and have her bring them... :) I just want my cake recipes and be able to eat them too!<BR/><BR/>KQ, now that's some dedication! That would solve my magazine weight problem...only I have to give my computer back when I leave here (it belongs to the lab, thus why I don't have access to one on the weekends unless I come into work!) Bummer...<BR/><BR/>Thanks Melissa! I know, I have a cookbook addiction too, but now I can't buy anymore because I don't want to have to leave any behind...now I just use the library for my cookbook fix!<BR/><BR/>Clare, HI! I'm sad for you that strawberries are pricey right now - they're getting very cheap here, and oh so good. I'm going to try Casey's mom's trick - sounds awesome!<BR/><BR/>Cookiecrumb, I think I mis-represented LB a bit - he's not dictating to me, I promise, he just doesn't have that much stuff and I have TONS!! The magazines are heavy, and since I want to bring the couch, the kitchenaid, and some of the other nice things I've slowly acquired over the years for killer prices ;) that I know I won't be able to afford again for a very very long time, especially there, I have to pick and choose what I leave behind...I think it will be kind of refreshing to leave a lot of it behind, but now with all these great ideas from everyone, I think I might store my magazines with mom and have her bring them out to me over the years!!!

Cranky's cool with that. (Hell, he's got three bikes out there.)<BR/>Anyway. I agree with Nerissa. You might think about shipping them (not mail, though... $$$).cookiecrumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741894180391507513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16233520.post-1150866167080121992006-06-20T22:02:00.000-07:002006-06-20T22:02:00.000-07:00oh girlI know your pain....

After a horrifying experience (cleaning out my old parents house a whole summer) I have began to throw away my beloved magazines! I now keep them for 5-6 months, then I cut out the recipes that interest me and off they go. I feel such a freedom. I had boxes and stashes of old magazines that I threw away without even looking through them...So break the habit!Ilvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06917489033091463791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16233520.post-1150768415419557622006-06-19T18:53:00.000-07:002006-06-19T18:53:00.000-07:00The cake looks so decadent.

I've not become such an addict that I subscribe but it's always a future possibility. <BR/>My idea for your new rule (LOL and it reminds me of something that Ben would tell me): Mail them to yourself. Expensive, I know, but at least they aren't in your luggage. If there are barges from Eugene to Hawaii, it might be even cheaper. Make friends with a boat going to Hawaii and offer to make a 5 course meal for them or something to cut down on the price. Some ideas. yea or nay them at willDeetsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02261827929150786107noreply@blogger.com
