I hate losing things.

We lost my recipe box when we moved. H thinks it was put in a donate pile on mistake. I had the only copy of my grandma's chocolate cobbler. I've contacted 15 cousins, all of my aunts and uncles (including great), they do not have it. I'm on the verge of tears. I just want my recipes! I wanted to make cobbler for a dinner party tonight.

Oh no. I would be devastated if I lost all of my recipes, especially if they were irreplaceable family recipes. Can you get in touch with the place you donated it to?

I moved over two years ago. I don't make it often. It feeds a large group. With H being diabetic I try to not make it. I thought it was in my folder. I can't believe I just noticed it was gone.

My cousin has it on her hard drive that crashed. My only hope is her dad. She thinks he has it.

Awe I'm sorry, that's horrible, I know exactly how you feel. My Grandmother never wrote anything down, she just had all of the recipes in her head. When she passed, my Aunt made us all a cookbook with as many recipes as she could remember so we wouldn't lose them, but of course they're not exactly the same. I'm grateful that I at least have a close approximation, but I still wish I had sat her down and made her tell me them, so I could have them for my kids someday.

Is there any chance its buried in storage/boxes somewhere? Like PP said, perhaps you could try writing down as much as you remember, and then look at other recipes to fill in the blanks? I know it's not the same though

Best of luck finding it! I really hope it's just buried somewhere and you stumble across it.

I can't remember any of it! I haven't made it in 3+ years. I suck at remembering important crap. I can remember random numbers.

I just paged my uncke's ex wife on FB. I hope she has it.

Mysterious_wife

My uncle does not have it. (

Mysterious_wife

I have it! My great aunt found it!!!! <:-P

I'm glad you found it!

Mysterious_wife

All of the emotions to find out, Grandma didn't make it. It was published in a local paper. Way to kill me Aunt D!

LittleLunarMouse

O yay! That's so awesome!

Hahaha!! That's ok though, it's still her recipe that she made for you right? That's what makes it special I doubt my grandmother created any of her recipes herself either, she just made what her mother taught her, and also from recipe trades with friends.

It's great you managed to get another copy!

Mysterious_wife

Nope. Never made it, that my aunt is aware of. I found it in her cookbook. I assumed it was hers. Womp womp womp.

LittleLunarMouse

O. Womp womp womp indeed, lol.

Well at least it's a good recipe! Hold on to that, hahaha.

Mysterious_wife

I find it funny. All of these years I told people it was my grandma's.

Wine&Cupcakes

Ha! Glad you found it anyways!
