The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 03/05/2005 11:51:13 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

And take the hidden paths that run...

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!

Mmm...lunch....

I have $4 sitting here...just enough for a lunch special at the chinese food place down the street.

It is the best "everyday"' chinese food I've ever eaten. (Not in the same catagory as very very good chinese food, but how often can I find that and afford it?)

Hm....what to feed the kids...

I always hated when my mom got something special for her lunch and we just had the same old.

Now that I've hopefully give you a guilt trip, enjoy the Chinese...

I told 'em I was getting chinese for lunch, did they want any? Both of 'em said no!

I still don't know what to fix 'em, but they don't want chinese!

Oh, I just found their doggy bag from when they went out to eat with my folks last night! They can eat that. Chicken Chunks.

Even when we go out to eat chinese, they get the fried chicken. Matthew loves it with soy sauce on it.

After we picked Joseph up from school yesterday, we went to our Parish to help the Youth Group prepare a meal for a local soup kitchen. I picked up ham slices on the way that had been pre-sliced, so we only had to pop those in the oven. Someone donated some cans of little white potatoes, and I had bought some green beans. I roasted some pork hocks, boiled them for a while, then cooked the green beans in them. The boys cut the potatoes in half, and I made an olice oil and herb mixture to pour over them, then we baked them. When the food was done, we drove over to Worcester to deliver it. The rest of the folks stayed to serve the food, but we had to get back for Choir practice at 7:30.

So, after having done all that cooking, we were rolling back into town just after 6, and Joseph asked, what's for supper? I was trying to think of something quick to fix, so he suggested Wendy's, but Clare pointed out that we were near KFC! Oh yeah! We stopped in and picked up some fried chicken and assorted other stuff, so that when we got home, we actually had time to eat before practice. That was a good thing because we didn't get home until almost 10!

We didn't have any leftovers though. ;o)

Mmm, sesame chicken...

The great moving of our time has begun... I'm doing it five trips at a time, because I just get worn out too quickly otherwise. I'm a wimp...

Whoa! Busy day!!

We rarely ever go out to eat, but I tell ya, this chinese food place down the street (and I mean a block or so away) is gonna be the death of me! LOL

But glory be!!!! You won't believe! I talked Matthew into trying the sesame chicken and he LOVED it! Next thing I knew, I was sitting in the living room floor dividing my luncheon special into 3 different plates! (Joshua will eat just about anything.)

It had chopped scallions on it, but they were easy for Matthew to remove. He's really getting past his aversion to stuff like that. Used to, if it was on the same PLATE he wouldn't eat it. This time, he just picked it off and gobbled up the chicken.

I feel like celebrating!!

Well...the concert went OK, except that I crashed the first tune. Badly. Never recovered fully. My hands were shaking too hard to play. But we settled in after that and did fine.

And tonight...is no pressure. It's not a real performance. It'll be fun! Not only that, but we're planning to go early and get something to eat! Fish n' chips for me - mmm! I'm really excited...I've never actually EATEN at the pub. Been too broke. But now I have not only house money, but also money from the performance! Woo-hoo!

That's what I'm getting tomorrow...fish and chips. The place we're going is a pub too. My whistle friend plays there a lot.

Funny, they got booted by another band for some reason...not even an Irish band even though this is supposed to be an Irish pub! Now they're back to playing there again. Hmmm...wonder if business dropped off?

Whoo-hoo!

I've got maybe a quarter of my stuff moved. The furniture's going to be interesting.

I was forgetting you get to go out, too!

Some of the other folks who played in the concert with us are going to come tonight, too. Should make for fun times! May do more songs than we otherwise would.

It's pretty much exactly like the old place only with two rooms. It's nicer than I deserve as a leeching graduate student!

Even the best musicians crash now and then. The good ones just come back and continue! ;o) Sounds like you fit into that category! Good luck with tonight and have a great time!

Just tried my hand at Irish Soda Bread. Used 1/3rd whole wheat flour to make it a little more healthy.;o) Made one with raisins and one without. Clare doesn't like raisins, but I'm sure she'll like the bread.

I'm a computer geek, ibuprofin is a vitamin. I don't need it yet, though. Most of my stuff is light, it's just making five thousand trips that's a pain.
