Nope. They do have a standard "Web Receipts" item but not a Recipes. I added
that. I *could* remove the standard ones but I left them there, but then I
have my sub-folders for saving and mailing, hence the duplication in the
menu.

I note I can remove the standard items - and I can - but I think it would be
better if it was easier for the standard user to do. The "Edit Menu" item on
the bottom does not allow you to edit the standard ones (all the ones other
than those to submenus I added). I know others who instead of recipes have
folders for different employers or whatever. Very easy to add a new folder
or program to that list. Most users would not have the sub-menus... that I
did outside the standard "Edit Menu" feature.

For what it is worth, I just started making another video showing how a lot
of these things tie together.

* The original topic: Save the page to a Recipes folder
* Email the page (including the URL)
* Email just the URL
* Send the page to other sources (such as Facebook - I do that)
* Just save as PDF (outside the Print dialog)
* Email the recipe as a PDF, giving it a specific name and even
  noting I use coconut oil instead of butter (or whatever note you
  want to add)

And how this did not make the other things I do any harder:
* Word Count
* Look up words in a dictionary
* Look up words in an Urban Dictionary
* Select text and bring it to another program which makes reading big checks
  of text onscreen easier
* Add to deliveries

Etc. The video was getting long and then I was interrupted... so no video.
But the point was how the context is there when you need it and, for the
most part, where you would expect.

I think the one exception is the one you noted: why is Save to PDF (or
Postscript) or faxing in the "Print" dialog? Well, OS X and Linux and
Windows all do it this way, but it *is* a bit odd and not what a new user
might expect. 

But given that is the "norm" for where saving to PDF is, I think it makes
sense to have the send this as a PDF to a folder or other programs feature
there as well... though if Apple moved it to the Share menu I can see that,
too (though are you really "sharing" it to save it to your own Recipe
folder... and then you add clutter to that menu).

But, sure, there is some amount of oddity there.
