Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A sudden tree or standing stone
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, Well 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! |

Good morning!
Still "hot" (it's the humidity, really), and still no AC. Ugh.

Yawn... tired... thought I'd report that I got in another workout last night. I'm exhausted again today. How was music?
Off to the salt mines.

Good morning! Here are a couple of recipes. I think I gave you the almond bread one before, but here it is again.
I found that I can buy whole raw almonds at Sams for $8 for 3lbs...I grind them up in my coffee grinder to make my own flour. Works great and is cheaper that way.
Low Carb Almond Bread
Preheat oven to 350°
(31.6 Net Carbs for entire recipe)
1¼ Cup Almond flour (15g)
1 tsp baking powder (1.27g)
½ tsp salt (0g)
8 Tbsp softened butter (.07g)
½ Cup Bulk Splenda (12g)
2 large eggs (1.0g)
¼ cup water (0g)
¼ cup heavy cream (1.66g)
1 tbsp chopped almonds (.5g)
1 tsp almond extract (0.1g)
Sift together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, mix the butter, eggs, water, cream and extract together. Stir in the dry ingredients.
I use a plain round cake pan, I grease the sides and flour with protein powder, then line the bottom with parchment. Or you could just grease and flour the whole pan...I imagine you could even use regular flour to dust the pan with...gee, how much could it add? I wouldn't think much.
I run a knife around the edges after its done just to be on the safe side...
Bake about 30 minutes, till spongy and a knife comes out clean. It doesn't rise much. Gently turn out onto a cooling rack...it's a bit crumbly at first but sets up to a dense cake. I cut mine into 16 very small wedges, which we eat like a cookie with tea in the evening.
Almond Flour Pancakes
Makes about 4 small pancakes
(5.5 Net Carbs for entire recipe)
5 Tbsp almond flour (3.0g)
1 Tbsp sour cream (0.5g)
1 Tbsp water (0g)
½ tsp baking powder (0.6g)
1 tsp oil (0g)
1 packet Splenda (1.0g)
1 tsp sugar-free syrup (0g)**
1 large egg (0.4)
**I used Atkins Vanilla syrup. I imagine maple would be good, or almond. I think you could probably skip it even.
I just whirred all this together and fried it up on a griddle. They don't raise huge like regular pancakes but otherwise, they are quite delicious! We ate them with sugar-free maple syrup.

Thanks for the kind words on the article. I thought I had a handle on this, but
dear God in heaven, Glenn Beck just played the audio of the Nick Berg tape.
I am angry. I am sickened and I write this trying to hold back the tears. Those bastards must die!
