OH NO!!!!!!!! Disaster has struck!!!

[poppiesinaline]

I've lost my recipe book...

I have a little blue exercise book that I have written recipes in since being married (13 years worth!!!) Its full of family favourites passed down, nice recipes that Ive picked up along my way....

AND I BLOODY CANT FIND IT ANYWHERE!!!!!!!

What am I to do?????

was going to make Mars' Lemon Drizzle cake.....

oh GROAN.....

was going to make lasagne for tonights dinner.... that recipe is in there too.....

You use a recipe for Lasagne?!

i have a little book which i have had for about 12 years with all my favourite recipes. Lost it once it is awfull when that happens luckily i found it again!! Hope ypou find yours

LOL!! yes, I have made lasagne from 'memory' before and ended up leaving out something... I need my recipe book!!! its like my little 'crutch' for cooking...

its got my butterscotch tart recipe in...

my chocolate cookie recipe...

my meatballs in sauce recipe...

my mums fruit cake recipe...

GROAN GROAN GROAN.....

Lots of sympathy Poppiesinaline. I would be so upset if this happened to me. Actually it did once but only because the house was a tip so I knew it was just temporarily misplaced.

whats tp leave out? Pasta, mince, onions, garlic, tomatos (or passata) white sauce (or cheese if preferred. Put in oven until cooked.

There you go.

firstly dont panic, ok so thats too late now.

The only solution is to insist on eating out/take aways until its found!

Seriously hope it turns up soon.

can't help with teh butterscotch tart though

'whats to leave out' ???? precisely!!!!

Are you beginning to understand my cooking skills !

where could it be?????

I've got one of those little books (mine is red) and lost it so often that I now have all the recipes on disk and in another book where I copy them out nicely so I've got 3 sources! It will turn up though eventually...mine always did!

Where'd it turn up??

Give us some clues of where to look...

checked the bookcase... inside other books, under sofa...

try the kids toybox, whatever we lose it always turns up in there

Closed inside a bigger recipe book and back on the shelf?

Oops, sorry, you've already looked there.

Is there a prize for guessing right?

Slice of butterscotch tart for example.

Did you find your book?

I LOVE DH SO MUCH SOMETIMES....

he found my book!!

It had fallen behind the book cupboard....

I guess he may be getting a prize tonight

What would that be then Poppies????

Butterscotch Tart?

I think something far better than butterscotch tart or maybe he could have that too... at the same time maybe

Told you it would turn up !
Now get yourself down to a copy shop and photocopy your book page for page then you will have a back up if one goes mising. 13 years of tried and tested recipes are gold worth.

Or better still scan them on a blog where we can all benefit from them too

what!?? share my butterscotch tart recipe!?

ooooo whats it worth?
