    Who knew how awesome the BlackBerry could be?!?!

    Decided to bake some chicken tonite and wanted something different. Just as I was reaching for our rarely used cookbooks, a call came in on my BlackBerry. The sound of that ringtone was like a lightbulb exploding in my head...reminding me...HELLO!, I've got a freakin' BlackBerry. There's gotta be recipes online.

    While talking via bluetooth I cracked open the BlackBerry browser and discovered a mobile friendly site called www.cooks.com which has a ton of recipes. So, while I proceeded to finish the call while making an awesome Chicken Breasts Supreme (www.cooks.com/rec/doc/0,1725,154182-229198,00.html)

    And this was all made possible because of a BlackBerry! Wild!

    I've always used my laptop as a sort of cookbook compendium at home. I even have a safe place set up for it in my kitchen, but I use my Berry for all of that stuff when I'm away from home, definitely. I love having the whole of the internet in my pocket!

    I highly recommend emerils.com/mobile. It is a mobile version of Emerils.com, and makes looking up recipes while at the grocery store fast and easy.

    If you like cooking type �Appetite for BlackBerry� in to your browser it will take you to a OTA download link for a great cooking app.

    It is not a free app but you can have a free trial.
    I've downloaded it and would recommend it.

    Regards

    Chris
