Somewhere in this house is a book.

Okay, that's a silly thing to say. Everywhere in this house is a book. But somewhere is a specific book - Fuchsia Dunlop's recent book on Hunan cooking, since you ask - and I want it, and I cannot find it. Which is (a) ridiculous, because it's a relatively recent arrival, and I know where it was because I was reading it; and (b) disappointing, because half the point of all yesterday's disruptions was to uncover all the other places where it might be, and I have done that, and it is not in any of them; and (c) frustrating, because I need to cook Chinese on Friday and I had intended to cook out of that book and that's starting to look problematic, in the way of meaning doubtful.

Of course I can cook out of Fuchsia Dunlop's other book, and give them Szechuan again; or out of any one or more of a dozen other books; or just out of my head by now, mix'n'match and see what happens; but I wanted to cook from that book and I can't find it and...

*sobs*

I love the name Fuchsia Dunlop ... isn't she just made to be a secret agent?

Does she have a website for her recipes that you could raid?

Books you know are here, but can't find in the surrounding mess... Hm, why does that sound hauntingly familiar?

(looks around)

Oh, never mind.

She appears not to have a site of her own. Recipes are dotted here and there, but... Oh, I'm just annoyed, y'know? Not in the mood to be calmed by rational solutions...
