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! |

I just don't wanna leave stuff behind. And I can't remember just how much I mailed when I came out here. A lot, I think. Six or seven boxes, anyway. Spent over a hundred bucks on shipping.
OK, enough whining from me, huh? ;-)
To: RosieCotton
Lunch. Spaghetti with homemade (onion fleck-free) sauce and grilled chicken breast and ricotta cheese.
Mmmm!
The jedis are vey quietly eating! LOL Must be good.

Mmm...'cept I like onions. ;-) Do you just use the powder?
I'm gonna have leftover chili. Can't complain.
And I'm packing all the clothes I won't need over the next week into my suitcase. Heh...over the many trips I did in the military, I've gotten really good at fitting a TON of clothes in a small space. The downside is that the suitcase is gonna *weigh* a ton as well. Good thing it has wheels...
To: RosieCotton
That's right...onion powder. Matthew doesn't mind the flecks of green italian herbs, but can't stand onion flecks...they have a bit of a different texture than the leafy italian herbs.
Thing is, we all like this sauce! It's quick and easy and I can store left overs in the fridge for use on sandwiches and Steve pours it on burger.

At least it still *tastes* like onion!
Mmmm...herbs. That's another thing I want to plant! Lots of herbs. Can't beat fresh!
I need a job and fast so I can get stuff to do raiseds bed and all. How's that for motivation?
To: 2Jedismom
What other herbs do you usually use in spaghetti sauce?
To: RosieCotton
Well, now I'm a very simple cook and it's a good thing that my family seems to have very simple tastes! I buy a shaker of "Italian seasoning"...that's what it's called...and says it's ingredients are Spices (including Thyme and Oregano). I use a half a tablespoon of that, a half a teaspoon of onion powder and a teaspoon of garlic powder per 15 ounce can of tomato sauce. (We all really like garlic.) That's it. I warm it up on the stove top and sometimes just in the microwave. Pour it on noodles, meatball sandwiches, shells stuffed with ricotta, frozen tortellini.

Simple is good!
That's about what I do...was just curious! Sometimes I also add a touch of cayenne and some rosemary.
To: RosieCotton
Tomato sauce is *I think* the only veggie item Matthew will eat. It's a good choice, in my opinion...cheap, available...of all the things he could agree to eat, it's the best! LOL
He does eat banana bread, pumpkin bread and pie and even zucchini bread! For obvious reasons.

I just finished a bowl of yaki soba, fried noodles (think ramen) with stir fried veggies. Yum! Have some left over, so Joseph can have some when he gets home from school in a half hour.

Clare just will NOT eat veggies, so I buy her phyto-nutrient supplements from Trader Joe's or Living Earth, the health food store. At least she's getting the nutrients she missing, if not the fiber from the veggies. She's the only really picky eater in the family. The boys will all eat most every veggie known to man, but I quit fighting with the kids about food a LONG time ago, because it was a battle I just never won, and it made everyone miserable.

Yep...that's Matthew. I give him vitamins and he'll drink OJ (no other juice) and eat tomato sauce. I've fought with him too, only to have him barf up everything else he's already eaten. Not worth it.

Ha! Just went in to work on more packing...and it looks like Tam's scared he's gonna get left behind...
I don't know if you can see, but he's managed to squash himself into a small space that was still left. Silly brat...
To: RosieCotton
That's funny :~D
Ruthy's on the ground here :~D Ramius is waiting for her to call from baggage claim. Updates when I've got them!
To: RosieCotton
Looks like you have managed to solve the 'how to transport them' dilemma.
To: RosieCotton
Heh.
Miss Cat did that once too. Wonder what she would have thought if I'd closed the lid on her.

You two will *not* be transporting my cats anytime soon...
To: HairOfTheDog
Hope to see pictures soon!
To: JenB
I guess she will like my 'duct tape to the litter box' plan even less...
