Nancy, I use Microsoft Office Word to keep my recipes. It is a 2004 version. If I wanted to know date when I saved the recipe, I clicked on Properties to see. Now I have decided to use INSERT on tool bar to insert date and time at the bottom of each recipe, after I write “Nancy’s Newsletter”.

Nancy, I feel so stupid! On Saturday of last week I stumbled across a recipe for brownies that intrigued me, so I tried them. They were made with cocoa, flour, sugar - all the usual brownie ingredients, but the recipe INSISTED the ingredients be weighed instead of measured. I made them by weighing just to disprove this theory, and was blown away! Best brownies I ever ate - bar none. I also discovered the difference between my measuring cups (I have four sets) and actual weight on a digital scale was, indeed, off. Now, of course, I can't find the recipe again. I don't believe it was in your column, nor was it on Pinterest (that I can find); I receive many different cooking newsletters every day, but I have gone back through them since Saturday and cannot find it. I was hoping that some of your readers receive the same newsletters and might have seen it. I really want to make these again. With just the two of us, the pan I baked on Saturday is gone - and my hubby doesn't eat sweets very often, but he loved these! If anyone saw this recipe, please let me know where. Unfortunately, I remember nothing of the name.

Here are a few more suggestions for Margo, as she tries to decide what to contribute to the Easter baskets at the event she is attending. Assuming the baskets are for adults, consider cute seasonal dish towels or pot holders or packets of flower, vegetable or herb seeds.
