The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

2012, huh? Should try to visit England before that...

Anything where the English beat out the French is a good thing. Even over Olympic venues.

News reports just said the French were "bitterly disappointed"

~snif~

That's just beautiful.

Hehehehe. We should all drink some fine, foreign, non-French wine to celebrate.

Here's the recipe I'm gonna try for the butter.

Gonna try this...

For every quart of peach puree, add 2 C sugar.

At 4pm

Pour peach puree into crock pot. Add sugar. Set to HIGH.

At 5pm

Add spices. 1/2 tsp each of ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon PER QUART of peaches.

At 9:30pm

Uncover crock pot, stir, set to LOW.

At 8am the next morning, set back to HIGH. Stir occasionally until desired thickness...about an hour. Pour into jars and process 10 minutes in a boiling water bath.

I can also make leathers out of this in the dehydrator.
