For the last 2 weeks in my spare time I have been working on a desktop recipe management system which can be used to synchronize with the web system. My wife spends hours each month browsing our recipes and creating ingredient shopping lists and monthly menus. The kitchen kiosk web site is great for ogranizing recipes and sharing them with friends but it lacks that great user experience that can only be accomplished with desktop applications. The Alpha is completed and I hope to be in beta in a few weeks. When it's in a stable beta I will post it on nealosis.com

For the last year or so I have been working on a side project I call Kitchen Kiosk. The ultimate idea is to have a mini-PC with a touchscreen (such as a chumby) sitting on your counter top to query or browse family recipes. The entry of recipes would happen by way of a web application. This portion is now being demoed on the nealosis domain. You can check it out here. In the interim we're using the kiosk web page to save our recipes and if we really like them then we print them out and keep them in a binder in the kitchen. After a few months we have a deep family archive of recipes that is uniform in nature and fits well together. I encourage everyone to check it out. If interest grows then I'll create a portal like the one for the mp3-cms for this project as well.
