30K recipes, 3 meals a day ==> if you had a different recipe  
from that collection every day, that would take 27 years to try  
them all.  About halfway through, 32-bit OSes won't exist by  
then, and old tech will probably be hanging on by a thread.

When I ended up being the care giver for my mom, I settled with  
only a handful of different recipes.  Life was so much simpler  
that way.  I learned that many recipes were actualy quite  
forgiving w.r.t qty of ingredients - and it didn't matter if  
there was a litte variation - it actually provided that little  
bit of new interest each time.

The idea of sorting through 30K recipes sounds interesting (from  
a technical, searching, database POV), but I personally wouldn't  
need to keep so many.
