The Hobbit Hole XXI - ...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 04/21/2005 6:44:57 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I know it, but God help me, I love it! LOL

I don't eat it very often...I got in cycles with it. I'll eat it a few times then blow it off for a year or two.

Ok. But *love* and *tofu* don't belong in the same sentence! ;)

Tofu is t3h 3v1l. Save the soybeans, eat a cow.

I still like my liver pudding better. Liver straight up is too bitter.

Liver pudding is a delicacy! It's like comparing a really fine steak to 70/30 hamburger.

Mmmm Liver pudding!

And according to OT, I can get the alcohol content higher, but I don't know how...I suppose I'll figure it out.

*Shrug* I just let it work til it won't work any more. Seems stronger than store-bought to me (and confirmed by Sister.)

it takes me about a week to drink a whole bottle

See if you can find it in those little bottles (6 or 8 ounces each IIRC) that they sell in 4 packs.

Eight ounces would be perfect. Drink half one day, the other half the next.

I'll check in to it.

Sheesh...I was just reading about that cop that had a homosexual affair with a college guy and when the college guy threatened to out him, the cop slit his throat so bad that apparently he nearly decapitated the guy.

So during court, the cop's wife and family are all there steadfastly supporting him, denying he killed the guy but not denying he had an affair with him.

Sheesh...I'm amazed they're still supporting him! I got banished forever from my family for pointing out one of the poodles was eating my chicken off my tray!

Since I was out in the wild midwest last New Years's I got one of those four-packs of champagne.

If you don't like your food extra salty, soak the beef in hot water from the tap for a few minutes (that's what I do.) Melt about a tablespoon of butter in a 2 quart sauce pan and add the beef(squeeze the water out first) Fry the beef until the edges curl up. Take the pan off the burner and sprinkle in 1 to 2 tablespoons of flour. Stir until all the flour is absorbed by the butter. Stir in about 1 1/2 cups of milk (more if you have to stretch it, less if you don't want a lot of sauce) and put back on the burner. Cook on medium heat until the sauce has thickened. Serve over rice or toast.

Do I chop up the beef, then add it back into the sauce?

You can if you want to, but the original size is okay for me!

Oh, ok! I thought that was why it was called chipped beef on toast...cause you chipped it up!

Hi Ramius!

I usually cut it in strips with scissors after I've washed it.

And serve the stuff over toast or (even better) fresh biscuits. Mmmm!
