Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!
O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.
O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.
O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!
*snort*
Yeah, I think some very expensive business jets out in the hanger are about to lower in value slightly.
Well, I’m back. That’s done!
I’m having a proper breakfast now.
First, I take a tablespoon of butter and melt it in the bottom of a cast iron skillet.
Then I take a handful of tortilla chips and crunch them up in the bottom.
Then I drop two eggs on top of that and then dump some hot sauce in on top of them. Then I cover them and let them cook till almost firm.
Then I flip the whole thing in the pan and put a layer of cheddar jack cheese on top, turn the heat off and cover it up. When the cheese is melty, I remove the eggs.
I then put a tablespoon of butter back into the skillet, then two big glops of refried beans. I re-fry the refried beans till hot then serve them up with the eggs!
Breakfast!
oops, missed my count
drool.....
Heh...that works. Or Barnes and Noble, I suppose.
Wait... so they are three-fried beans?
0.o?
Precisely!
Re-frying the refried beans in bacon grease is really good, but butter’ll do.
So...how late in the year can I wait to plant bulbs? (jonquils and tulips)
So, no one in my family (of the people who do not work regular 9-5 hours - meaning everyone but me) can tell me exactly when the trash is picked up. I don’t know if we’re off schedule for the holiday week or not.
I’m refrosting the garage freezer (no, not really a typo), so I have a whole bunch of questionable food (from the last power outage) in trash bags because the cans are full. It was frozen when I put it out there, but it’s pushin’ 60.
I think I see a trip to the landfill in my afternoon future.
Still, Christmas is out of ~the attic~ and I’m just restin’ a bit afore tacking the next project.
Well, you’re way ahead of us. Still it’s quite remarkable how many catalogs you can get from one company. Cabella’s is about one catalog a week. (sure got some neat stuff though) and others we haven’t ordered from in years.
Well, we have planted them pretty late some years but if the tulips and jonquils are planted before a good hard freeze you should be okay.
I might be able to plant them Saturday. But I’m really thinking of holding off until after the show. So they’d be planted right before Christmas.
Heh, that’s a good breakfast or dinner or supper. I think grilled cheese are on our agenda for lunch.
You might be okay, just a matter of what the weather does.
Before the ground freezes.
Just finished shopping...
Faucet repair....check!
Toilet repair....check!
Thanksgiving dinner.....check!
Grilled cheese and tomato soup is one of the best comfort food meals ever, IMO.
I didn’t manage to bring lunch today. Gonna be the deli again today, which I shouldn’t be doing. They’re good, but pricey.
I figure I’ve just about reached the halfway point with mine. How long the rest is depends a lot on whether I remove the original main character, who has yet to make an appearance. At this point, I’m not sure she’s even needed.
Actually...I don’t really know where I’m going next. My original plot has almost completely disappeared. As usual.
I didn’t pack shorts and it’s 76 degrees.
At least ice cream was on sale.
