Some Recipes to Try

A long time ago, I remember reading about the tyranny of tabbed browsing. You would get a bunch of tabs you wanted to read, but their numbers would grow faster than your ability to read them. For a while I tried to address this by capturing those pages in a list in hopes of a better future where I might read them at my leisure. I am trying again, here.
