I do try and lable them in my notes....like Judy Schwarts's meatballs. Then again, the recipe has changed so much that Judy probably wouldn't recognize it. Up there on the shelf is another example.

Ok, I'm laughing here... in a Jimmy Buffet song about gumbo, he mentions the magic of "Marie Lambeau". I never could figure out what the heck that meant. Now I know - it's Laveau, not Lambeau! Sheesh - diction, it's a lost art. ;)

If I were to be asked for a recipe, I swear I'd tell the asker that I always liked the recipe for XYZ goodie from pick-a-cookbook.
