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!

It's not my fault!

I want to wait till after the 'thon, so we don't have the ad in the first post for the duration of the thread.

So - go send JR a check... he's runnin' on hamsters here. ;~D

I haven't made sprouts in a long while. Maybe I should...

No, there are older and fouler forces at work in the dark places of the Internet...

I would have not thought about the kitchen sprouting if I wasn't experiencing a 'negative cash flow' :-)

A piece of cheese cloth would probably do the trick too...over the mouth of a jar. But I got these toppers when I was single and relatively wealthy. Heh!

The sprouter I got at the thrift store was only 59 cents...it looks very cool, but just very ineffective. The seeds sit in stagnant water and rot. Ah well...I wan't out much.

Maybe I'll sell it on eBay! If I got more than a buck for it, I'd be ahead! LOL

Mmmm...grilled chicken and avacado sandwich with radish sprouts!!!! Mmm MMM!

I bet I could make a nice dressing for it too, out of my yogurt...now that I've got quarts of it!

I would love an avocado tree but it'd be too cold in Pennsylvania. I would love to keep a dairy goat to make fresh cheese and yogurt. I made a collard warp using feta cheese and nothing else but wild sprouts,weeds and collard leaves from my garden. Delicious.

I think it's too cold for an Avocado tree here in OK too...and they were a $1.99 in the store last time I checked...too expensive.

But I sure love 'em!

What's a warp? Is it like a salad?

It's a mispelling. I meant to say wrap, like a burrito :-) Maybe one day I'll take a picture and post it hehehe. I got carried away with planting tomatoes and now I have at least two hundred different kinds growing in my yard.

So far, it looks like Emily is going south of you again.

Oh WRAP!! LOL! I'm sorry! I know what a wrap is!

~chuckling~

I've done that before with tomatoes! Had them running out my ears. I think last year we canned up a bunch...I still have sauce in my pantry!

I found that the birds don't like yellow tomatoes and will leave them alone while pecking on all the red, so I think I'll just grow red tomatoes in the future. They're tasty!

Uh, I mean I think I'll just grow YELLOW tomatoes in the future.

I'm getting a cup of coffee.

Good for you! Shaving 10 minutes off of a 35-minute ride is a lot. You're doing great, keep up the good work!
