The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Journey to the Cross-roads

The Two Towers Edition

Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)

Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

I am a little leary all of a sudden, though.

Oh don't be, look for tapes of his "News from Lake Wobegon" sometime....

They are stories of people and families, people you know, some of the old folks that you may have lost. He brings my Lutheran Norwegian grandparents from Minnesota back to life every week. Priceless.

If he eats lutefisk, I suppose that could be a point in his favor. I

I doubt he does.... Even Norwegians don't really eat Lutefisk.... we make it for visitors so we can watch them eat it.

Good afternoon all...

That's what I get for taking a nap this morning, several hundred posts behind.

Anyway, wanted to let you all know that I found out yesterday I'll be starting a new job this Friday. It's another contract position, due to last 4-6 weeks, but it's a paycheck.

Thanks to all who offered prayer or who kept me in their thoughts!

Do the visitors like it? It looks kind of salty in the picture I saw.

Well, that is nice if the guy can help folks reminisce.

Do the visitors like it? No! - That is why it is funny to watch them eat it! - Keeps them from staying too many days!

Well, that is nice if the guy can help folks reminisce.

It isn't just that. He paints vivid pictures of people and communities.... quirky and adorable people. I want to find and send you a tape now!

Here's a link that gives you the recipe, but it is very complicated from what I hear. I've never bothered preparing them myself when they can be purchased for 60 cents apiece at the local bakery. Check around first and find out if anyone sells them in Melbourne. :)

Pastelitos are lembas

My Mom does, but only at one meal before Christmas. 'Course, she's only 1/4 Norwegian.

Thanks for the congrats!

Is the job any good?

Well... no... But I'm not going to complain about it.

Paychecks are good!

That's why I'm not complaining about it... ;)

Yeah - some of the old school folks eat it at Christmas, but even that I think is just out of duty.... Like taking Cyanide when you are captured carrying secrets.

Some time I think it would be fun to have a bathroom that could 'carry' a Mexican tile sink.

There is a restaurant I go to where I go in the bathroom every time I visit just to look at it!

Keeps them from staying too many days!

After three days visitors and lutefisk (and certain missing dwarves) begin to smell?

No if you only want them to stay three days, you feed them Lutefisk on the third day, and make enough for the next night! They will leave!
