I have many file card boxes from my great-grandmothers thru "my generation" - it's really is a kick to wander through them.
but I do keep my stuff in text files - in a directory with sub-directories - and I simply print out a copy when I need it to take into the kitchen. many of the old favorites I've copied into 'electronic'
I have a special folder "Pending" - I copy stuff off the cooking sites that I want to try into that location and if it pans out I'll keep it and move it to my Beef, Chicken, Breads, <whatever> folder.
I especially like the approach because I can make & keep notes for scaling up/down, 'modifications/changes' that worked, didn't work, a wine that worked especially well with the dish, etc. 3x5 cards are,,,, well,,,, small.
