In my kitchen, the most-used cookbook is a binder full of recipes I've collected from family members and other sources and adapted so they're just the way my family likes them. Wordle: Cooking

Over the years, that binder started to fall apart; it was time for a new one.  While I was able to find a new binder that was the right size quite easily, it wasn't as easy to find something that had the right look.  That plain black binder that I finally purchased serves the purpose very well.  But it's so boring to look at, and this binder is on display in my kitchen all the time.

So I asked my daughter to make a collage that I could mount on the front of the binder.  I was looking for something made up of cooking-related words.  And I imagined that she'd dive into my stacks of old magazines, cut words out, and make up a nice collage.

Instead, she found her way to a website and generated a "word cloud."  It took her 15 minutes and involved no glue whatsoever.  No muss, no fuss--and really nice results.
