Where do you find your recipes?

I don't know if this is a new phenonomum or not, but everyone is after recipes! Sweet, sour, Greek, spicy, quick, Crock-pot, and many others. So where do you find your recipes?

I have a family cookbook from my mother's side of the family. Many times I take them and make them my own. I also picked up a recipe book from Venice when we visited. It's a challenge to follow a recipe, they say things like a glass of wine, or a spoonfull of vinegar. Basically I play with those too.

Today, instead of a recipe, I thought I'd share my favorite on-line sources, some I use more than others. Some you have to create an account. I never use anything I have to pay for though!
