The Hobbit Hole XXXIV - But better than rain or rippling streams...

Posted on 08/07/2007 7:52:15 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

Nice turkey. Do you have any special recipe in mind?

You’ll be in my prayers. Do they have any late-season deer hunting out there, like for bow or muzzle loader?

boned the breasts.... mmmmmm... breasts... (did I say that out loud?...) will cut them into serving size pieces, coat with olive oil, garlic powder, cracked pepper, sage, wrap in bacon, cook them over a hickory fire...

the hindquarters are fer soup...

muzzleloader season is the end of Novemeber, and that’s a possibilty... doe season is early December, I’ll drag my carcass out into a brush pile if’n it kills me...
