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!

Nah...never got around to it.

Had to step away for a bit, baking pumpkin pies for Steve's Easter luncheon at work tomorrow and Matthew stole the computer from me!

The Teacake recipe I have in my Mississippi Cookbook is like an extra thick sugar cookie, except it has more of the consistency of a biscuit than a cookie. Kind of a cross between the two, but vey tasty.

See, I kinda always pictured him sitting there writing, having this snack and wondering "How am I gonna get Frodo to Mount Doom without him starving to death?" So he wrote his snack into the book But he does mention "cram" in The Hobbit, so he may have just been expounding on that. Well, as Joshua would say "Who knows? I don't know. Only God knows."

Great. Now I've got a mental image of the Eagles running a take-out business.

I just stood for five minutes staring at the pumpkin pies, wondering which one I should cut for the boys and which one I should take to the party. They both have their good points and faults.

After five minutes I gave up and just picked one up.

Eeny, meeny, miney, moe...

Mmmmm.... I cooked a giant pot of my taco meat, you know, where I slow-cook it in salsa and a quarter-cup of sriachi sauce, on Sunday. This is the third meal I've made of it this week. Got to freeze some of it, I think. Tonight was nachos. With a sauv blanc/semillion blend cheap wine from New Zealand... heavenly.

Thanx, saw it. Correction posted.

I have just enough knowledge in this area to do some series damage. I might accidently over-stune the beeber.

One o' these days you're going to be offered "carnie or veggie?"

And if, out of morbid curiousity, you pick "veggie", you'll be offered "ovo-lacto-leather or vegan?"

And if "vegan" sounds excessively excessive, and you go the other way, they'll ask "about the leather: pedestrian-utilitarian, cowperson-decorative, or homo-erotic?"

At which point I might ask "Didn't I see another state on my way in? I think I'll go there."
