The Hobbit Hole IX - A sudden tree or standing stone
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^ ^

Posted on 05/05/2004 7:57:51 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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,
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!

Sounds good...might look into the black soybeans. I've heard they're tasty! Though...I can have real beans and whole wheat tortillas.

Like I said...South Beach isn't really low carb. It's just low processed carb...or really, processed carb free, unless you count grinding grain as processing.

Speaking of grinding, I just made a bunch of almond flour! Gonna try those pancakes one of these days. I do like the flax pancakes, though, now that I've found a recipe I like. I have 'em once a week or so.

BTW, you can have jicama, right? Best I can tell, it's only five net carbs for a full cup. And it's sweet! I finally found some at a local store and tried some for lunch. Sprinkled a little cinnamon on the slices and realized it reminded me of apple...so I'm attempting a sorta mock apple crisp now, using almond flour crumbled with butter as a topping. It's in the oven now. I have a feeling it's going to turn to mush...but if it's tasty mush, I may still make that once in awhile. I'll let you know!

Jim's picking up a movie. He's gonna get Peter Pan and / or Lion King 1 1/2, I think. No one else wanted to watch ROTK. *snif*

Margaret and Stephen are gone until late tomorrow. Maybe Monday I can talk 'em into watching it with me. They're much bigger fans than Jim and Teresa.

Oh, and for future reference...at the grocery store I found sliced raw almonds - not the slivered kind, which I think are blanched. They had whole ones, too, but I figured the sliced would grind easier. It worked beautifully, so I guess that's what I'll get from now on if I wanna make some!

Ugh, we did "Peter Pan" last night. I only sort of watched. I had my laptop and was writing. Maybe it's better if you actually pay attention, but the kid actors were driving me insane.

Aren't beans high-carb?

Soybeans aren't. Regular beans are. But they're whole foods...which is what South Beach is all about.

They also have lots of fiber and minerals.

You should be able to, it's your house, right?

Sigh... I'm starting to almost regret moving so far away, even before I do. It would be nice to have my sibs in a controlled enviroment... I'll have to have them come out and visit now and then.

Not that I'm reconsidering my move! I can't wait.

Keep me posted about the jicama...I'm not a big fan of raw jicama, but a jicama apple pie might be good.

These soybeans are black and taste just like any other bean to me...rather bland.

8g of carbs per half a cup serving...7 of which are fiber and can be subtracted. 1 net carb.

You'll appreciate them even more by being away for awhile! And it's kinda fun being the honored guest when you come back on visits, at least for the first day or so... ;-)

You can always move back, like I did! But I know what you mean. I missed them terribly. I'd be rich now if I hadn't called home so much when I was in Germany...
