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!

And I remember those cool pancake mix bottles where you just added water and shook them.

And the bacon. Don't forget the bacon.

[Lil'freeper]

MMmmmmm.... bacon.

I could do with some.

[RosieCotton]

I'd like to say that I've learned to cook bacon since then...

I made a mess of the bacon that last day! We almost never had it growing up except as a treat...and then I just never made it. So I didn't know...

Duh...

[RosieCotton]

Indeed!

We had some really, really wonderful food at Entmoot. Seriesly wonderful.

Any idea what to do with ground turkey? I got some raw ground turkey at Aldis for 69 cents a pound!

I also got 85% lean hamburger for 1.99 a pound. It's sold frozen in pound-sized packages. I can usually get 80% lean at Walmart for that price, but I have to buy the mongo package of it and re-wrap it to freeze it. I like this better! I just come home and toss it already frozen right into the freezer or into the bottom drawer of my fridge to thaw.

Anyway, the jedis are having hamburger helper tonight for supper. They're gonna be thrilled.

When there's nothing else to talk about, Hobbits talk about food!

[HairOfTheDog]

And steaks.... don't forget the steaks :~D

We almost never had it growing up.....

That's just wrong.

I just use it the same way I do ground beef. S'okay if you don't mind your "hamburgers" tasting like turkey.

[Overtaxed]

But the steaks are for Saturday night!

[HairOfTheDog]

Did I jump the gun?

[HairOfTheDog]

The first night, didn't we have Pizza?

[JenB]

Remember how I got a wall quilt from Mom for Christmas? It arrived today (we shipped it because it was too big to carry on) and I hung it.

[JenB]

No, that was Trilogy Day's lunch.

[Overtaxed]

I thought that was the lunch break on the LOTR marathon that first Saturday.

[msdrby]

I use ground turkey instead of ground beef in all my dishes, especially in spaghetti.

[Overtaxed]

Ya know...we haven't done a chat/view of ROTKEE yet. Or have you been chatting and viewing behind my back?

[Overtaxed]

...and when does The Hobbit reading start?

[Overtaxed]

Now?
