Converting Paprika 3 Recipes to Markdown - The Conclusion

This is the conclusion to my previous post at: Converting Recipes from Paprika to Markdown

I’ve been working on converting all of my text based data to markdown to make it more portable.

I’ve found a great iOS app to use for my recipes, using Grocery App, which I covered yesterday.

Now the problem is that I need to get all my recipes out of Paprika 3 and into markdown. This post will cover that process as it unfolds, and provide the code needed if you come across the same problem.

To automate this I wrote a couple of python scripts. One to convert the recipes from Paprika format to Markdown for blog posting. And a second to convert the blog recipes for use by the app, and to copy them to the proper icloud directory.

For me I’ll be running the process to convert the recipes to my blog once, and then will be tweaking the recipe formats there, then will routinely run the script to update the app data. Any new recipes I create/find will be added directly to my blog, and will then auto import to the app.

The scripts and information for running them can be found on my Gitlab:

Hike - Willow Spring Trail

The Basics

I wanted to get back out & check out more of the Willow Spring area. I followed a path that goes out to the right and around the closest peak. It was a much less travelled path, but worth the effort. I also tested out a bit of the hike out to the lake, and that was a good trip, except it was all wash, so I needed some gaiters to keep the rocks out of my boots. Those should be here later this week, and maybe I’ll give that hike a better look, but it’s about 15 miles out & back.

Hike - Willow Spring Trail

The Basics

This hike was in a new area that I had not explored before. The trailhead is just north and across the street from the Weavers Needle Vista Viewpoint on AZ-88, starting @ the Bulldog OHV parking lot on AZ-88 & FR-12.

There are lots of trails in the area to choose from, we had planned a route of about 8 miles, but ended up cutting it very short due to time, as we spent a lot of time playing with the drone.

While hiking we stopped @ a few spots to do some shots with my new Mavic Mini. I didn’t like any of the shots that I did, so I’m sharing the ones that Jeremy shot.

Driving Mogollon Rim Road

The Basics

Today was our first drive along the Mogollon Rim, it was a very beautiful drive, that took a total of about 10 hours round trip.

The rim road (FR 300) was a beautiful route & a nice road, you could do the whole route in pretty much any car if you had the road to yourself. But in places the road is narrow & you may have to move a tire off the edge to let others pass, so I’d recommend having some ground clearance so you don’t scrape.

Our route is shown below starting from 87 & 260 in Payson, AZ, and ending at the same point.

The Hike

Before the drive we stopped @ Water Wheel Falls, for a short hike, we weren’t really prepared for any type of hike, so we turned around at the water crossing, but the part we did (about 2/3 mile total) was good, with nice scenery.


The Rim Road

The Rim Road was a beautiful drive. We only made a few stops this trip, since we knew we wanted to finish the whole thing & we had to get back home to the dog. There was one quick stop for lunch & a short off shoot to get to Myrtle Point. This road was more challenging. The last section has some large rocks, and some tight squeezes between trees. The Tacoma came out unharmed, but I was definitely concerned about getting some AZ pin striping.
