The Hobbit Hole XXIII - Let them go! Let them go!
Posted on 07/12/2005 8:11:36 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Let them go! Let them go!
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! |

I think I'm definitely going to make bread of some sort while Jen is gone.
I'm actually thinking about making up a big batch of dough and dividing it into small amounts to freeze. Then I could just make one or two rolls at a time and won't be tempted to eat a whole bunch. Could take a package out before I go to bed and make myself a little loaf to have for breakfast.

Have you frozen dough before? Since we went through so much bread at home, we never bothered with it...
I'm wondering if I should make loaves and let them rise and THEN freeze, or thaw and allow to rise, or what. And though I'm assuming overnight would be enough for a small amount to thaw, I don't actually know.

Frozen bread in the store is frozen prior to rising...I don't know if it's essential, but that's how they do it.
I figure you could take it out of the freezer the night before, stick it in the oven with the light on to warm things up a bit, then just bake them the next morning...
Hmm...I'll read up and experiment and let you know!

I went to Canada last month (Saskatchewan)
It was the first time since 1999 that I was on a plane.
I forgot how much fun it was!
HAPPY FLYING!

Halvah will likely get up when you do and try to explain her all-consuming neeeeeeed for she knows not what.
Tam sleeps through about everything. I don't think he's been up yet today. Lazy bum.

So...probably I should at least sort of shape them...just into balls or kind of oval shapes. So that when they rise, it's more or less in a small loaf or roll shape.
I think this could work...

My flight's at nine-thirty. So if I'm not AT the airport by 6:30 I'll get nervous. I know, it's stupid, but that's me. So I'll be leaving fiveish.
Well, maybe I can be there at seven...

Thanks Pip! I kind of like flying. Have done more in the last eighteen months than in all the time before that... of course, before that my flying had been limited to two trips to Hawaii. Since then I've been to Florida once, and then the PA-CO thing... let's see... once to visit, once to find my apartment, and then last Christmas. So this will make five trips in eighteen months.
