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 just don't like sweet pickles.

[Corin Stormhands]

ketchup

[shudder}

It's not natural. I still gag every time I remember the "chili" my sister-in-law made for us last winter. She uses ketchup as her base.

gag

[Rose in RoseBear]

It's not "ham paste," it's Underwood Deviled Ham, and it can be right delectable with a little doctorin' ...!

the pasties

Are you guys ~playing~ with your food?

[Overtaxed]

Mmmmm.....Deviled Ham....

[Corin Stormhands]

Are you guys ~playing~ with your food?

It does kinda take the zing outta that coconut bra, not don't it?

;-)

[HairOfTheDog]

It'd be hard to upstage you and the coconut bra...

[g'nad]

mmmmmmmmm deviled ham.... could eat buckets of the stuff...

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Read about pasties here...

Ketchup is about as spicy at U.P. cuisine gets...

[Rose in RoseBear]

I don't know if your family would like my cooking. I like spices ...

[Corin Stormhands]

I'd feel naked without theshoooooooeeessss...

[HairOfTheDog]

Bear wants us to check out a link about pasties...

Have you clicked it yet? ;~D

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

But *I* like your cooking, and that is what matters!

[Rose in RoseBear]

The base of chili is tomato paste ...

[JenB]

Yes, potato salad for picnics, but I don't eat it. I'm not a potato fan.

See, a number of my family, including myself, have food-texture issues. I'm the worst, I literally cannot eat stuff with that sort of consistency. Not jello or pudding, either. So we tended toward "meals you have to chew thoroughly".

[Rose in RoseBear]

<hug the Bear!>

[Corin Stormhands]

Have you clicked it yet? ;~D

Yes, it's safe.

Would you like ~me~ to post a link about pasties?

[Corin Stormhands]

The base of chili is tomato paste ...

Oh, I'm well aware of that. Believe me, I did not have seconds on this "chili."

[Rose in RoseBear]

Not even sliced and fried potatoes? Hash browns?

[HairOfTheDog]

I don't like mushy food either! I don't like the texture of mashed potatos
