Creating a recipe notebook using Tomboy

I’ve taken to using Tomboy again recently and I realize how nice it is to do so. It’s as if I have a wiki made out of sticky notes. But to show you how nifty it is, I realized that it has potential use for keeping recipes.

This is what I started doing with Tomboy:
I made a notebook (a group of notes) called “Recipes”. To make your own notebook just click on the Tomboy icon on the panel and you have an option to do that.
After making a notebook, I made notes. My notes were basically recipes so those had ingredients and instructions. I made the main ingredient into wiki links by selecting the particular words and selecting “Link” from the menu.
By making that particular word into a link, Tomboy gave it a new note and on that note, I wrote the wiki names/note names of the recipes. It’s as if I tagged them recipes with the main ingredient as a tag.

I am sure you’d find other uses for Tomboy like a listing of your CD Collection, etc. Though maybe for other purposes, it could turn out to be a little complicated already ^^;
