I dislike using recipes from online sources when I know I have it in a cookbook. Besides, laptops don't belong in the kitchen, and I hate printing out a recipe. The paper invariably gets destroyed in the chaos that is our kitchen.
My laptop is never in the kitchen. My smart phone, on the other hand, is. That screen wipes up super clean, I conserve paper by not printing, and it is super portable. In fact, I can store my faves right on the phone. I will create a list, from the online recipe, right onto my memo pad, and wah-la...easy peasy shopping.

I never met a recipe I couldn't make "better" (to suit my taste), yet.
