Good idea. I sort of do a variation of the theme, which is to find recipes on the internet and then copy and paste the text into Palm Desktop (a free software program). I then sync it to my old Palm M100 handheld device (these things go for like $20 nowadays on eBay–cheaper than a one of those paper life planners now–and the advantage is you can sync stuff with your computer so if you lose it, your data is still on your computer!)
Then when I go to the grocery store, I just bring the handheld device in my pocket (about the size of a thick wallet) and have a few dozen recipes I can look up right there and then. (the “find” feature is really handy for this) When I am back in the kitchen, I just put my laptop in a safe spot on the counter, and refer to that while cooking.
