I haven't been updating my blog lately because all of my favorite recipes disappeared somewhere in between Denver and Detroit. My binder of personal recipes and notes was in my suitcase when I flew home for Christmas, and my suitcase never arrived, and still hasn't arrived. I made a list of as many recipe titles as I could remember, just in case the book is never returned to me.
Meanwhile, I am so grateful for my blog. Especially for the Korean recipes I saved on here that could never be replaced.
I have thirty days or so before they give up looking for the suitcase and just give me some money for all of my lost items. Unfortunately, documents and manuscripts are irreplacable--they aren't covered under Northwest's insurance policy. So I am hoping, hoping, hoping that I will see that little brown binder again.

Just tell NWairlines that you had all your recipes and notes written on cash. Big bills.
If you need to feel that someone knows your pain read the preface to Keillor's Lake Woebegone Days. He talks about a loss like that.
And Ernest Hemingway experienced a similar loss of all his writing when his wife once travelled with his MSS.
Loss is hard to deal with. I miss those edibles. Mmmm.
Oh my goodness. This is seriously insane.
i hate airlines and lost luggage. i think that it is interesting that you are more concerned about the cook book than anything else. wow!
you really are the international chief of mystery.
;)
oh, charissa, i am sorry about your book. you mentioned this to me on the phone, but i just had to comment anyhow. i am praying that they will find it! have they found it? i hope so.
C-- don't give up hope!! My sis lost a suitcase coming back from an internship in Germany. . . it had all her CD's, some souvenirs, etc. . . she was heartbroken, but finally accepted some $$ for it and gave up. . . over one year later "It was like Christmas" she said. . . there it was. . .except the chocolate was kinda a mess. . .
Now we're in then age of the Internet-- music and recipes can be replaced. Chocolate, however, should not travel more than a year. . .
