Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Pass them by! Pass them by!
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, Well 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! |

They had roast beast at the cafeteria today. At least, at my job's cafeteria the menu is printed out a week in advance so you can brace yourself for the week ahead.
9 times out of 10 though, it's actually GOOD!
He made a ham in Coca Cola once that had me asking for the recipe. *grin*
Evenin' folkses!

It's a wonder we didn't get ourselves wedged in the doorway walking in like this. *Laughing*

See, that is the beauty of round hobbit hole doors. You don't actually get stuck but you do trip and hit your head at the same time.
To: TalonDJ
*trying to picture that*
But since I'm a Hobbit I'd just trip, right?

Right, but since we hobbits are quick on our big hairy feet you might avoid that too.

I've had spaghetti squash before, it's pretty good. I found some whole wheat pasta that's pretty good. I've had regular tomato sauce and meatballs with that.

The more I think about it, the more I think maybe Ben said they had driven up to Paradise when he was visiting her family (right before they came here), and I confabulated that into "the wedding is going to be at Paradise".
But maybe it'd be a good day trip for those of us who aren't busy with the hands-on preparation!

I've been eating spaghetti squash every other week or so. Really like it. It is NOT a direct substitute for pasta, which I think is why I didn't like it as a kid. I expected it to either taste like pasta or like what I thought of as squash, i.e. winter squash. It didn't.
But I like it!

They had roast beast at the cafeteria today. Heh...see, that's the main downside I see with cafeteria food. It CAN be very good, and you don't have to cook or clean up afterwards...but sometimes, who knows WHAT is goin' into the food?! And what kinda hands are preparing it?
At least at home it's my own germs...

Either way... I'm sure that weddings at the lodge are not uncommon (though the trip down the mountain after the reception would be all manner of mass carnage... it's a treacherous road).
Maybe he was talking about a wedding there... it would be a beautiful time of year to to a wedding at Paradise. Relatively warm, even though it's halfway up a 15,000 ft mountain. :-)

This here Hobbit lass is clumsy enough to trip standing still. :-)

The wedding isn't until April, though...that'd be a bad time of year, no?
I'm looking forward to seeing the Cascades, though, even if it's just from a distance! I don't remember much about views from when we lived near there when I was little...all I remember is the ocean and the ash we got from Mt. St. Helens.

I know what you mean, but I figure if I'm brave enough to eat at McDonalds from time to time, why not trust the cafeteria guy?
At least I know who he is, if something turns out to be ~yuck~.
Once, he served these corn tamales and they were just terrible. No one wanted to say anything, but I walked right back to the cafeteria, set the tamale in front of him and said "taste that please".
He took a small bite and made a face. He never ordered those tamales again and the next time he served them, he called me up to ask me to come try one to be sure they were good. And they were! :-)
