The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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 tweaked the ingredients a little, but this is the recipe I used:


INGREDIENTS:

* 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
* 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110 to 115°)
* 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* oil

PREPARATION:

Put yeast in 1/4 cup of the water; add sugar and let stand for 10 minutes. Sift 2 1/2 cups of flour and the salt into a warm bowl. Form a well in the center; pour in yeast mixture and remaining warm water. Begin to mix with hand, wooden spoon, or dough hook, adding remaining flour as needed. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 to 15 minutes, until smooth and no longer sticky.

Oil a large bowl; place dough in bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place free of drafts for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Dough should be doubled in bulk. Knead for a few minutes then divide into balls about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Roll balls into circles on a lightly floured surface with floured rolling pin, or flatten into circles with hand. The circles should be about 1/4-inch thick and about 7 inches in diameter. Sandwich the circles between floured cloths and let rise for about 20 minutes in a warm place. Preheat oven to 475°. Sprinkle cookie sheets with flour or oil. Place loaves on baking sheets and bake 5 to 10 minutes. If baking sheets are oiled, turn pita loaves to brown both sides. Remove to wire racks to cool.

I am so dead... I just can't concentrate on homework. Partly that's because it's not due this week, but I need to get something working, and it won't, and I can't exert the energy to make it work. I'm a bad person. I'll be complaining a week from now when this bites me in the butt. But I just can't be productive today.

Everyone has days like that, Jen. Don't worry about it.

Give yourself a break away from it and come back to it fresh tomorrow.

Sounds like a wonderful plan to me!

America's Most Wanted will finally be covering the NJ murders that FReepers have been talking about forever. Starts here in about 30 minutes.

Your body's recovering from a nasty bug, chica. Give yourself a break!

You're pretty productive when you're feeling well, so you're more than entitled to a week or two of the "blahs" now and again.
