Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
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! |

THAT'S the plant I'm thinking of.
The cookies are tastier. ;-)
The recipe Jen posted sounds right. Maybe I'll make some next time the young adults group gets together.
Have I mentioned I need to adopt some CO brothers?

Here's the recipe I found in my BJ's Wholesale Club mailing. It's from a book called "Holiday Baking" by Sara Perry.
Old-as-Pilgrims Molasses Crinkles
2 1/2 Cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground ginger
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1 tsp. ground white pepper (optional)
1 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup firmly packed dark or light brown sugar
1 egg, at room temperature
1/3 cup dark or light molasses
1/3 cup granulated sugar
water for sprinkling
In a medium bowl, sift flour, baking soda, salt, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and white pepper (if desired); lightly whisk and set aside.
In a stand mixer or with hand mixer set on low speed, beat shortening until creamy, about 30 seconds. On medium speed, beat in brown sugar until smooth. Beat in Egg. Beat in molasses. Add half the flour mixture and beat on low speed until blended. Add remaining flour and beat until blended. Scrape down the dough, cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper or leave ungreased. Remove dough from refrigerator and soften slightly for easier handling. Place granulated sugar in a small bowl. Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out some dough and roll it between your hands to form a 1-1/2" ball. Drop ball into sugar mixture, roll to coat and place cookies 2" apart on baking sheet. Sprinkle each cookie with water. Bake until tops are firm when lightly touched, about 10 minutes.
For a crunchier cookie, bake for about 12 minutes. Let cookies firm before transferring to a rack to cool completely.
Variation: Grandmother's Grown-Up Glaze
After the cookies have cooled, return them to a baking sheet. Whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar with 2-1/2 to 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier or another orange-flavored liqueur. Dip a spoon into the glaze and drizzle it over the cookies. Allow glaze to set for about 15 minutes before serving.

She probably will around Christmas-time. I think she's up to baking/cooking as long as she can take her time.
BUT, yesterday she went a little over the top. She wanted cooked cabbage...of course WE don't cook cabbage, so we don't BUY it. She took some leftover coleslaw and rinsed off the dressing, then fried it.
Wife tried to mask the smell, but I walked in and the first thing I thought was "HOLY @#$%#%!, what died?!?!?!"
Then, I was pleased to notice that she'd trimmed the begonia so we could bring it in. But not pleased to noted that she'd just thrown the clippings over the railing into the driveway.
She means well. She wants to help. But she's not always thinking clearly.
