The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Though we pass them by today...
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! |

Evening everyone. I am kicked back at the kitchen table at my folks new place contemplating what might be for desert. I hope all of your Christmases are shaping up nicely so far.

I had homemade cheesecake for dessert. We had a big meal out at the house since Dad had a friend over and I had been given a ham.
Marbled chocolate and plain cheesecake. Mmmmm... Now I feel as though I won't really *need* to eat for about a week. Vey rich stuff.

Oh, I see...so they're really not cookies except in looks, eh? Not something to eat, for sure!
That's a LOT of cinnamon! I dunno that we'll attempt 'em, but I'd like to try them next year. They must smell wonderful!

Challah is a braided yeast bread that is generally made the day before the Jewish Sabbath. It is really good! I make it with honey instead of sugar. There are many recipes, however I use this one (in a bread machine).
2 pkg. yeast
1 3/4 c. water
2/3 c. oil
1 egg
1/2 c. sugar or honey
1/2 tsp. salt
3 c. flour (all-purpose)
Mix together above ingredients. Then add 3 cups additional
flour. Turn out on floured surface. Let rise for 1 hour or
until double in bulk. Punch it down.
For Kashrut only: Take "Challah", put in oven. Shape into 2
loaves or place in loaf pans. Let rise an hour. Brush with
egg and water. Bake at 350 degrees for an hour. Cool on
wire racks.

Whoa! Ain't you special! I didn't send him any money, and I didn't even do any work for him. Would have been a waste of time up here. I wore my Bush/Cheney pins everywhere I went, and found out that there are quite a few Repubs. up here. He got 37% here against the 'favorite son' so he didn't do too badly.
Joseph wants Apple Cranberry pie for Christmas, so he's gonna bake that tomorrow. Paul made Pumpkin Pie the other night cause he felt like it. It was vey good, so I'm going to have him do another. SSQ likes pies better than cake, but David might have to make another Pineapple Upside Down cake, cause SSQ liked that really well. We've been doing a lot of cooking and baking since they've been home. ;o)
Took me two hours to get all the lights on the 10' tree at Church. Then I put the lights on the smaller tree in the Parish Hall(the basement of the Church) that they use for an additional Mass at 4:30. The Church looks lovely at Christmas.Now I get to fix up MY house. I've been putting it off, and just got the lights on our tree this morning. The kids will put ornaments on it tomorrow while I'm wrapping gifts, then they can wrap gifts they bought when I'm done.
