Yesterday we asked you about the things that are inspiring you in the kitchen. In response, Susan wrote in to say that her new kitchen computer has been very inspirational lately! Read on to see what she says, and how this nifty computer was installed for her.
Look! Susan's Kitchen Computer
Susan says:
I've been wanting a kitchen computer for a long time. I have a Macbook, and every time I bring it into the kitchen my skin crawls,because I am so worried about spilling something on it.My husband, Grant, was able to get this old Gateway from his work for $100. He painted it red for me, fabricated a wall mount, and just yesterday he finally hung it and I've put all of my recipes on it.
We'll clean up the cords and everything, but I couldn't wait to start using it. The first thing I made using it - Snickerdoodles! They are Grant's favorite cookies, and I figured it would be fitting.
On the cooking agenda this week:
• Avocado Butter
• Pesto Lasagna
• Dandelion Bread
• Apple Pie
Wow, thank you Susan for sharing! This looks great. A long time ago I lived with a family who had also done this: rigged up a computer with a small screen in the kitchen, designated just for recipes and grocery lists. If you use online recipes or keep your shopping lists in a more electronic way, it is indeed useful to have a designated computer for the kitchen — no more worries about flour in your laptop keyboard.
Do you have a computer in the kitchen?

I've been wanting something like this for a long time, but recently saw this - what do you think of the Demy Recipe Reader?

There's a great program for the Mac called SousChef - makes use of large, high-contrast text and the Apple Remote and/or voice recognition to "play" recipes. I leave my laptop on the dining room table, far away from splashes and puffs of flour.

I have a touchscreen computer in my kitchen which my husband built. I absolutely love it. It is rigged up to speakers so I can also listen to itunes and streaming radio. I find it pretty useful for finding recipes and searching the internet too. Way cool.
