Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Hill and water under sky
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! |

Are Mondays your busiest day?
Ugh...what a way to start the week...
What kind of meat do you use?

Ground beef. I brown it and chop it up pretty fine while I'm doing that. I imagine you could use chicken, too.
Yes, Mondays I have a class, a seminar, and a lab. The lab goes until 7:30 so I have to find alternate means of conveyance.

I have ground beef...just wasn't sure if that's what you were using. Don't have a reliable crockpot, but someday soon I'll have to get one! Not like they're horribly pricey...
Sounds like a nice, quick meal that could be stretched a long way. Once I get a crockpot, I could see having that at least once a week, especially if I was planning to have bothers over...

Yes, I usually make enough for three or four meals. The salsa makes the meat moist enough that it reheats no problem.
Use the low-carb tortillas, and yum!

Low-carb tortillas killed the thread...Just had someone stop me in the hall and say "Hey, you're getting skinny!"
Regardless of the truth of that remark...considering that's only the second time in all these months that anyone has noticed and/or said anything, it made my day! ;-)

Woo-hoo! It's good to be noticed.
I really need to get a scale. Maybe when I go shopping this afternoon I can find a cheap one.

I'm really thinking of putting mine away for a month or so. Lately it's just depressing me.

Mine said I was down 4 two days ago but said I was back up today... IT LIES!
I need a computerized device that factors out water weight and recent food eaten :P

Oh, I know they lie... but I need to see where I am once in a while. Not every day, though.
Rosie, remember that you need new clothes! So who cares what the numbers say?

I need a computerized device that factors out water weight and recent food eaten :PIf you invent one, let me know! ;-) I guess as long as I've got a general downward trend, I should be happy...but it's easy to get addicted to checking often and then being dismayed at the results. And I'm fairly close to my goal now, which makes me all the more impatient.

Exactly! Muscle is denser than fat.
Yeah I find it helps to remind myself in the morning. Kinda helps keep snacking in check.
To: JenB
Rosie, remember that you need new clothes! So who cares what the numbers say?True! Though I'm almost between sizes now. *sigh*
I kinda wanna just wait until I'm really where I want to be before buying anything, but it means feeling like a slob for a bit.
Gives me something to look forward to, though!

What really helps keep snacking in check is not having snacks at my desk! :-)

Snacks at the desk are not a factor but those damn cinnamon rolls they serve in the cafeteria for breakfast...
To: TalonDJ
Insidious, isn't it?
I worked on a computer for someone this morning, and being grateful she was pushing cheese danishes on me. I managed to run away (shrieking internally) with just a free cup of coffee.
