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.

So MAC's are slow? My daughter uses one and thinks it's the best thing ever. Everyone else in the family uses PC's.

So Ruthy, how come some eggs are brown, while others are white?

mmmmm.....I like my eggs that way too! You just can't sop them up with toast any other way!

OK, the answer to the white or brown egg question is....*drumroll***

I HAVE NO IDEA!!!

Lemme get Jesseman Jacksonhole from Bywater to answer that one! LOL!!

I'm sure that there are are some disenfranchised chickens out there just dying for reparations. *grin*

You're supposed to mix them with grits and red-eye gravy and have them with country ham and biscuits.

I've had them with grits and bacon, even ham and biscuits, but what in tarnation is red-eye gravy?

No definitive answers on the burning egg issue, Sam?

*grin*

Yeah, I am glad the cast all seem to be nice folks. They must all feel like they are walking on clouds, knowing that they are a part of such a movie.

After you fry up the country ham, deglaze the pan with coffee (or water) to make red eye gravy.

Oh I'm sure! I would have been happy to have done the lowest tasks as part of the crew to just have been a part of it!

Sorry Sam. It's my job to be the $mart@$$. It's in my contract.

Why are some eggs brown and some white?

It is a matter of genes. Some breeds of hen such as the Rhode Island Red lay brown eggs, while others, like the White Leghorn lay white eggs. Brown or white, there is no difference in nutritional value or cooking performance.

No, I really was curious, though :-)

"Prickly" would seem to be more applicative to the skivvie-less Gondorian.

Water? That don't seem right...but I guess I've never tried it. Wouldn't taste the same, though!

I personally use coffee but I've seen people use water before.
