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 had some fried fish and chips at a restaurant while visiting for WeddingMoot that was the best stuff I ever had in my life (in the fried fish catagory).

That would be the Tides Tavern. Mmmmmmm!

Not that there's anything unexpected in that....

Snow has started. We're supposed to get quite a bit tonight, darn it, I wanted to get more omelet eggs after class.

I forget what it was called. It was a hotel compared to barracks though.

Three floors. All branches of service.

When were you there? I was there in 1996.

Guess I'm weird but I just don't get the appeal of fishing... boring if you don't catch any, slimy if you do, and you have to eat the stinky things. Is there something I'm totally missing?

You know... I went back and read it again... and I know what it is... you're channelling LauraleeBraswell!

I hate you. Never ping me again.

Nope, not channelling anyone. I just really hate fish. It's like the iea of trying to cathc, oh, snails or something.

I whacked it good on both sides with the edge of a saucer.

We have a specific saucer that "whacks" very well :-) 2J - I just buy the boneless steaks, then beat 'em to almost a pulp.

I thought swiss steak was already pounded, but I could be wrong. I use top round or bottom round steak for stir fry, pepper steak or teriyaki strips. I don't pound it at all, just slice it thin and at an angle to expose the maximum tissue to the marinade. I just look out for whatever's on sale.
