Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And there are many paths to tread
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! |

And so much for getting my hair cut before the interview.
Oh well...this is the one I don't care about, right? *sigh*
To: RosieCotton
I thought she had paid what you asked? Oh well.
Your hair looks fine and you don't care about the interview. Get a haircut tomorrow morning while I'm sleeping in :-)

She hadn't said for sure that she'd pay that. And being as how they weren't cosmetically perfect, we ended up dickering. And I'm bad at that, too. Certain brothers got all the sales skillz...
Mission for the weekend: get hair cut, obtain more boxes, sort stuff. Possibly drop some stuff at Goodwill type place.
To: no one in particular
Izzit time to go home yet?

LOL!! You won't believe it...
Apparently Becky saw my post about the sale at Albertsons and decided she'd check it out. We ran in to each other and had a nice visit in the store! She was there for the chicken sale.
Anyway, I was so tickled to see her that I forgot all about the curry! Didn't even look for it.
Becky gave me a good tip, though...I was telling her I like to buy lots of meat when it's on sale then divide it up and freeze it. She said "Why don't you just have them divide it up and wrap it up for you?" I felt like I'd been slapped in the face with the cold fish of obviousness! LOL!!! So that's what I did...got five individual pounds of chicken and five individual pounds of ground beef. I should have got more and thought about it but there was a woman that was waiting so I figured I could go back some other time.
Guess I could go back tonight, get more meat and check for the curry.

Ouch! I hate it when that pesky fish gets me.

One note about curry paste: read the instructions on the bottle! If it's a big bottle (12 oz, maybe) my instructions are probably right, but there are more concentrated varieties of curry paste that may be stronger.

I love the tiger!The stuffed tiger stays hidden in the ammo pouch except for photo ops. He said he'd be swarmed with kids if they saw it. I guess stuffed toys were not high on Saddam's priority list.
To: 2Jedismom
Ok, the curry paste I use is "Patak's Mild Curry Paste", I get mild because I like to spice it up on my own.

oh dear...
bittygirl's new favorite game...
We call it 'baby slam dance.' She takes her baby doll and slams it onto the floor (or down the stairs) and then dances around to pick it up for more 'dancing.' Of course, as she does this she squeals with delight, in rhythm to her 'dance.'
To: JenB
er... eh... mixed metaphors disorient us Precious.
To: TalonDJ
Heh... you haven't been around babies enough... there's a serious difference between diaper content in bottle or breast fed infants.

Ginger Beer
Recipe By : Harrowsmith Reader
Serving Size : 20 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Beverages
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
2 gallons boiling water -- 256 oz.
2 lemon -- thinly sliced
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
2 pounds sugar, granulated
2 ounces ginger -- chopped
1/2 teaspoon yeast
Boil the water in a stainless steel or enamel pot. Add all remaining ingredients except the yeast. Simmer 20 minutes. Cool to lukewarm and taste.
Add more ginger for a livelier flavour.
Dissolve yeast in one cup of the mixture and stir back in. Cover and allow to ferment 34-36 hours at 65-70F, i.e. mix it in the morning and bottle the next evening. When a slight white skin of foam appears on the top of the brew it is ready to bottle.
Siphon or pour into sterlized bottles removing any lemon slices. After capping age the bottles upright for one week at 60-65F then store in the refrigerator or basement cool room below 60F. NB: This cool storage is very important.

NOTES :
Instead of sliced lemons you may use 4 tbsp. lemon juice. Instead of chopped ginger you may use 4 tsp. powdered ginger.
The resulting beverage was very fizzy and seemed to become more fizzy the longer it was stored. Our supply was gone in a month and by the end the caps were almost removing themselves from the bottles!
