General updates

Had a mostly low-key weekend. The HSA meeting actually got out early on Sunday, and the list of people absent was telling--proof of who the long-winded talk-forevers are. Went to Half Price Books with Cammie and John and Tristan, which was bad. No one in the group coutned as adult supervision. We came home with a couple of plant books, some fiction (including the Dune Messiah, which I've been missing for years), the final volume of The Traditional Bowyer's Bible, and a stack of cd's. I think By's already got most of the new cd's on the hard drive.

We ended up not making a road trip to KSU to fetch my transcript, because HR atwork had received it already. Whew. I'm hoping for a call about setting up an interview sometime today.

Both of the boys are off at work today, and I don't have to be anywhere. I made cheese-stuffed rolls last night, so we have noshies already, and By got groceries while he was out yesterday, so we have ingredients for dinner tonight. Got one load of laundry done, and another in the washer now. Changed the sheets, made the bed, tidied in the kitchen a bit. And as a reward for getting all that done, I get to knit.

( Lazy Days Casserole Recipe )

Tristan: That recipe you were looking for....

Here's what I found, courtesy of google:

This one's fairly simple, and not too far from By's breakfast casserole: ( Hobbit Casserole )

This sounded more like your description: ( Hobbit Pie )

Not quite what I was looking for, but amusing: Hobbit Cooking. Contains some recipes for stuffed mushrooms, a mushroom-sage stuffing, toad-in-a-hole (biscuit-wrapped sausage), and links to a couple of lembas recipes. (For the curious, the lembas recipes seem to be slightly sweet, variously spiced shortbread.)

Edited to add: the complete, alphebetized list of recipes from the Hobbit Cooking Guild

Edited to add, #2: also because it amused me (although I would omit the sauerkraut): ( Hobbit Soup )

I know, I know. Not productive at all.

I got sucked into the Hobbit Cooking Guild website (linked off my previous entry). And so, I'm archving a couple bunch more recipes here, for (hopefully) near future use.

One more LOTR-inspired recipe to share...

Smeagol's Sushi

fresh, live fish
rice (cooked)

1. Throw nasty rice away.

2. Smack fish on rock.

3. Eat fish.

So, I finally talked to Mom tonight

Been trying to get through for a couple of weeks, but she's either been on the phone, or not home to answer it.

Almost wish I hadn't.
