Hello! Hope you are having a fabulous, sunny Saturday. 
Just wanted to let you know that IGE experienced a slight catastrophe this morning. My web hosting company deleted all of my site files and folders – aka, IGE did not exist anymore – with the explanation of “Sorry! Staff error! We’ll be more careful next time!” This, obviously, did not fly with me.
Thankfully I was able to talk some sense into them via email – they won’t provide phone support – and my files were miraculously recovered. The only remaining glitch is that all the images from June 24th to the present were lost.
I’m working on replacing them but in the meantime you’ll see missing pictures and/or random & misplaced images in those posts.
Cross your fingers that this goes quick, and thanks for hangin’ in there with me! 
I thought something was up! This morning I woke up thinking “today is the day. I”m making IGE’s mongolian beef.” I about cried when your site was down!! Thank goodness for google-reader backups.
Glad to see your back up and running! Hopefully you get to still enjoy some of the weekend, between uploading pics.

Wow! Hope you guys can still enjoy part of your weekend!
Glad you are back!
“whoops!” glad you are back!
How stressful! I’m sure this isn’t what you had in mind for this weekend.
Hope you’re still able to get some fun time in!
Glad you’re up and running. Take a deep breath and go enjoy your weekend, you can add the missing pics when you have some down time!
I saved your posts from 7/8 and 6/27 in Google Reader if you want me to forward them to you. Just send me an email. That sucks!!! Hope you get everything up and running soon!
I was having IGE withdrawals this morning! I kept getting that your page could not be found:-( So happy that you are back up again! Have a great weekend!
Sorry to hear about your experience with your web hosting company. You are the third blogger to have this happen to them this week, that follow. What is up with that??? Hope all of it recovers okay.
Enjoy your weekend, that best you can. Have a good drink!
It seems a lot of people woke up this morning planning on making an IGE recipe! I’m glad things are coming back up.
You’r my girl!!! Of course we will hang in with you.
So sorry to hear that! How devasting!
Good for you for working through everything!
How frusterating! Gotta love technology, right?:)
BTW – chicken enchilada casserole from a couple posts back – awesome!!
Egads! I was wondering what was going on this morning. Here’s hoping all goes much more smoothly for you!
One word: fruity cocktail drink and a nice long bath.
Glad you’re back!
I was wondering what was going on today when I went to check the post this morning! Glad it is on its way to recovery!! Happy you are back!
I kept getting a message until now, Welcome to the NEW Ige. Wow, bummer!
