OK, ready for a wild question? My mother-in-law who lives with us is a
French chef and watches the Food Network all day. I spend countless
hours printing out recipes from the food network web site for her (and
more hours at the Gym working those recipes off of my waistline), most
of which she can't recall the exact show or episode or even the right
key words of the recipe she wants. She gets all excited trying to
recall the details and yells suggestions of key words to try. Stress.
There are only a few shows that she watches all the time and I can get
the times they run from the program guide. On the main page of the food
network web site, there is a link to the current show and links to the
recipes on that show.
So, is there any way to set up a cron job or similar to go to the Food
network's web site when her shows are on and search for the text
"Featured recipes" and then automate the process of printing each
recipe? My cardiovascular system thanks you in advance.
Regards,
Daniel
