I'll let her know.
To: jrherreid
Hm.... would you make it worth my while? ;^)You bet I would! I make a mean cookie...which would you prefer? Chocolate Chip or molasses?
To: 2Jedismom
Mmm... how about a batch of lembas?
To: jrherreid
Lembas requires a pastry cutter, and I don't have one. Raisin Oatmeal?
To: jrherreid
FYI
Lembas from Lothlorien
by Jincey ( I think this is person from TORN)
6 TBSP butter or margarine, slightly softened
2 cups self-rising flour
1 TBSP granulated sugar
1/2 cup raisins (optional)
1 egg, well beaten
1/2 cup milk
4 TBSP heavy cream
Mallorn leaves
With a pastry blender of fork, cut margarine into the flour in a mixing bowl until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Do this rapidly so the butter does not melt. Add the sugar and if desired, 1/2 cup of raisins. In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together until mixed. Reserve 1 TBSP of this mixture to brush the tops of the lembas. Add the cream and egg mixture to the flour and mix just until combined into a stiff, soft dough. Knead three or four times on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough to a 3/4" thickness and cut with an oval or leaf shaped cookie cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet, leaving 1" of space between lembas. Brush the tops of the lembas with the reserved egg-milk mixture. Bake for 12 -13 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven.
For safe keeping, wrap each lemba individually in a fresh, clean mallorn leaf. If these leaves are unavailable in your area, store the lembas in a tightly closed container. Makes about 1 1/2 dozen lembas.

Sounds yummy.
To: jrherreid; Overtaxed
Well, I don't know if it's "better than the honey-cakes of the Beornings. . ." but I want to try it some day. I'd skip the raisins, though. For some reason, I never visualized raisins in the
lembas. I always thought they looked like a plain kind of cookie, like the bland
cram Gimli thinks it is at first. Then you bite into them and Yum!
I've done the herbs and stewed rabbits...I'm going to soon do the seedcake, when OT has the recipe perfected, then maybe I'll try the lembas.
What do you think, OT? You thinking of trying this?
To: 2Jedismom
Yes, I'm thinking about it although it's been a while since I last looked at the Lembas recipe (it's on my laptop HD). Should I finish my "method development" on the seedcake first? I'd like to see how it does with the unbleached flour/cracked wheat combo eventually. I'm more like Pippin than ever...growing "sideways." :)
To: Overtaxed
RE: Green Dragon... I don't know - I think I should be able to do it this afternoon!
To: HairOfTheDog
Pints!
To: Overtaxed
Should I finish my "method development" on the seedcake first?Yes, I think so. I'd like to see how it turns out best. Then I'm going to try it! ;-).

And the cream in the lembas should help! LOL
To: 2Jedismom
Cream!...Like I'm not in enough trouble with the whole stick of butter in the seedcake. LOL
To: Overtaxed
You know, if you don't cut back on the Elf-bashing, I'm going to suggest that Took's Corner become an alcohol-free zone. I'm not sure it helps to send you to the corner if you get more pints and wings there than at the discussion!
But hey, since we're talking about virtual pints here anyway, sling me one, ok?

I thought I
was cutting back on the Elf bashing. :)
Now that I know the origins of the Keebler Elves, I realize that I was wrong to bash Elves over keeping their secret recipes secret.
To: JenB
Oh!...and I'd like to see you try to enforce the "no alcohol" policy in the Corner.
Have a pint!
To: Overtaxed; JenB
Oh!...and I'd like to see you try to enforce the "no alcohol" policy in the Corner. Yeah, no way that's going to fly. The Tooks rule in Took's corner, and we all know how the Tooks love their pints. ;)
So says someone who practically LIVES in Took's Corner. ;) Hehehe...
To: Penny1
All right, so it wouldn't work, but really, we need to get you people out of the corner somehow!

Why? OT and I are very comfortable here, right OT? ;)
To: Penny1
Right! I finished up the wings for lunch, but I do have some high cholesterol seedcake and amber ale for the Corner this afternoon.

From your mouth to God's ear.........
