I’m on a bit of a tear lately to organize my digital life. I’m really into the social bookmarking site, del.icio.us, which is where I save and tag all manner of things relating to my work: reports about scholarly communication, blog posts about ebooks and e-readers, links to open source publishing tools, and other such geekery. I tend to keep that space pretty much free from cooking- and food-related distractions. Instead, I’ve been saving recipes I’d like to try to a folder called “eatme” in my Firefox browser bookmarks. But you know what? It ain’t working. I bookmark and forget. And I haven’t yet come up with a plan B.
So while I figure out what to do with my bookmarked recipes to make them more useful and available to me, I figured I’d clean out that virtual folder and share them with you. I even categorized them for ya, because I’m feeling so darn organized. Perhaps working with in a library for the past three years is rubbing off on me.
In the comments, I’d love to hear how you organize the recipes you find online.

Multiple delicious accounts?
Er, I’ve tried. I hate the logging in and logging out hassle. I should probably investigate tools to manage multiple accounts . . .
I use delicious, but I feel no need to keep work and other interests separate; I just created separate bundles. I have a few work related bundles, as well as one each for food, travel, and politics. I’m also not nearly the power user you are, so maybe a separate food bundle isn’t enough of a solution.
As far as how I use delicious for recipes, it’s pretty intuitive. I use the tag “recipe”, plus tags for the major ingredients and sometimes a tag for the source if I remember (usually Mark Bittman, to be honest).
