I use Paprika recipe manager 3 on windows, but I'm pretty sure they have an osx version as well. I find it's useful to make week menu's and have it make a grocery shopping list. But I'm sure others can do that too.

Illuminating the bold ideas and voices that make up the MIT Press's expansive catalog.

the point is why does it get posted and upvoted if it's so obvious

[rmilejczz → mlevental]
