The Hobbit Hole XXXII - Sweet is the sound of falling rain
The Freeper Hobbit Hole Blog ^ | December 1, 2006

Posted on 12/01/2006 12:55:15 PM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
That washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is anoble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain.
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

O! Water cold we may pour at need
down a thirsty throat and be glad indeed;
but better is Beer, if drink we lack,
and Water Hot poured down the back.

O! Water is fair that leaps on high
in a fountain white beneath the sky;
but never did fountain sound so sweet
as splashing Hot Water with my feet!

They ARE good, aren't they? I had one for the first time when SirKit was in college at Loyola in New Orleans for a semester. We went to Pancho's Mexican Buffet, and they were on the dessert menu. It's like a beignet, but with butter and honey instead of powdered sugar.

If you go to any proper rodeo or pow wow they're served with taco/tostada toppings. Double thud.

Unfortunately thet're the most fattening food on the planet. I just gained a pound thinking about 'em. alas.

That looks like you had the whole gang working. Lefse, although I've never had, it sounds great. I've seen a rolling pin like that before, but didn't know what it was used for.

Hey, I didn't say nuthin bad about the guy! Even though I could, since his crappy administration made it necessary for SirKit to change careers. He was teaching at Purdue at the time, and we knew we'd never be able to afford to buy a home without my having to work, too, while interest rates were at 17-20%. He ended up heading over to NJ to work for Bell Labs so he could make a better salary . After a couple of years of Reagan, we were able to buy a home.

He's going to shut the water off for a bit tonight to replace something or another, if you get home in time, you might want to fill the tub so you've got some flushing water.

Rosie was reluctant to roll one, but she ended up being pretty good at it. It didn't tear, and it didn't just stick to the rolling pin :~)

And it didn't get caught on the faucet on the way to the pan. ;-)

That was awful funny, for no real reason.
