Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Until the stars are all alight
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! |

But to answer your question... no - I've not used one of them.... Can't advise about 'em.
To: RosieCotton
Personally, I'd rather use a
Hibachi grill if I was gonna go small.
See if they have one of those.

*sigh*
Yeah, that too. The screens are going to be a major project, though...having to build frames and all.
To: RosieCotton
Ah - well, maybe the points aren't of any significance then.
To: RMDupree
Yeah, that's kinda what I meant - I've seen those for really cheap. Just wonder if you'd end up halfway through cooking the second meal and run out of gas...making them not worth it in the long run.
To: RosieCotton
To: HairOfTheDog
Not as major as the fence...but not something to tackle tonight, I don't think...
To: RosieCotton
Don't go with gas for a small job like that.
Just go with charcoal and/or wood chips. Tastes better anyway.
And the fuel is easy to come by and easy to afford.

Personally, I'd rather use a Hibachi grill if I was gonna go small. For your money value, I'd agree. We have a cheap gas grill that we're getting rid of. You have to spend a couple of hundred to get a decent gas grill.
I'm seriesly considering getting a charcoal grill and forgetting the gas grill.
'Course you could always hope someone drops one off a truck...

I'm just lousy at getting a charcoal grill going...and for one person, it doesn't seem worth it. Maybe I just need more practice, I dunno.
Also I'm lazy, and disposing of the ashes takes time. Yada yada yada.
You're probably right anyway, but...I'm lazy. Have I mentioned that?
To: RosieCotton
I'm also cheap, though, and therefore conflicted.
To: RosieCotton
I have to admit, it's nice to just flip a switch and the grill's ready... with briquettes you have to ~wait~
So I'm lazy and hasty... ;~D
To: RosieCotton
Well in that case, get one of those George Foreman numbers like Hair & ecurbh have. :-)

The indoor thing? That doesn't solve my heat problem.
Oh, and I'm picky, too. ;-)
Maybe I should get a charcoal one and just get good at using it. The few times I've tried it, it's taken forever to even get the thing lit, and then another forever to get hot. For a group of folks, it's easier to deal with the hassle. I realize I can always cook enough to last me all week...so there's that.
To: RMDupree
At least, I'm assuming a George Foreman is an indoor grill...if they have one I've not seen it, but the ones I've seen before are plug-in.
To: RMDupree
Evenin' folkses... :-)
miss anything?

Not sure what his name is... He's deaf, so we can't call him anyway :~D. Tiff was surprised Tweek wasn't, since she was told it's relatively common with white sealpoint cats with blue eyes.I think it's white male cats that are usually deaf.
My cousin has a big, fat, white tomcat. Stone deaf, but he jumps in the car for a ride down the driveway when my cousin goes to work, and is waiting for him for another ride when he comes back. The cat is also fast, and can catch baby squirrels.
To: Corin Stormhands
And I admit there's some appeal to being able to run to the grocery - or even just the store next door - if the fuel runs out.
Eh...guess I'd better think more about it. But it'd be nice to be able to make a buncha chicken to have with salad or sandwiches for lunch for a full work week, and grilled is lightyears beyond any other kind.

You want fast with some heat? - George Foreman.
You want slow with some heat? - charcoal.
Either way, you're gonna sweat if'n you stand right over it. *grin*
Looks like George Foreman wins again!
