hmmm?
My mother read "The Hobbit" aloud on a car trip home from Florida when I was 8 - she dislikes Tolkien, but my dad loves it. When I found out there was a Hobbit movie, I was so excited.
Only then I watched it. Ouch.
Good sneak, Rosie!
Great tagline, btw. Lewis is something, isn't he?
dang connection slowdown...
"Rosie First Spammer" fits nicely in the keywords.
But the music is so catchy!
Heh...I think they're fun movies for little kids...but don't capture the real book at all.
Awwww....
*smooch*
even though I know you was just tryin' to get closer to that precious before your spam!
Oops. Bein' sweet didn't pay off for ya did it? Rosie done stole it away from ya!
One of my favorite authors, for sure! And that quote just seemed ta fit the hobbit hole...
LOL! I've been trying to think of another thread book and I can't think of one :)
You doubt my motives? You would me madame...
crap...er "wound"
No would intended. Overall, I thought it was a good tactic. :-)
What's a burrahobbit? :) I caught the premiere of Rankin-Bass as a kid while randomly flipping channels, and I happened to come in during the Riddle Game. I remember it distinctly because I was eating a honey sandwich, so for a while after that I couldn't eat a honey sandwich because it reminded me of Rankin-Bass Gollum, who creeped me out because he seemed like a frog or something, LOL!
Now that is cute! And appropriate!
Appropriate in so many ways! I am sure any friend of The Professor is welcome here after all.
*snif* and here I am without a stitch...
CHEESECAKE
2 8 oz pkg softened cream cheese
0.5 c Splenda
1 tsp lemon juice
0.25 tsp lime juice
2 eggs
1 Tbs heavy cream
crust of choice, prepared
Whip eggs and cream until frothy. Add lemon and lime, mix. Cream splenda and cream cheese until smooth. Add egg mixture and beat till well blended. Pour into 8" round cake pan over crust. Bake 30 min at 350.
Notes:
1. Very good without any crust at all.
2. Double the recipe for a spring form pan. Reduce heat to 300 and bake for 1 hour or until done.
3. I'm not keen on the full dose of Splenda- I always use a little less than the recipe calls for (up to 10% less) and increase the lemon/lime juice. When I'm not strict about low-carbbing I cut the Splenda with unrefined sugar.
4. Makes a mighty fine breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert, or snack.
"The GreeEEEEAAAAAtest adVENNNNNNture. . ." Okay, I'll admit that even though I liked that cartoon as a kid my brother and I made fun of Glenn Yarborough's voice :) But the movie still helped me visualize Tolkien's story enough to bring Middle Earth to life for me. I spent countless hours drawing pictures inspired by stills from Rankin-Bass and going over the maps in The Atlas of Middle Earth. I was much more inspired by Rankin-Bass than by Bakshi BTW.
Good lord, if I ever meet anyone inspired by the bakshi, I'll have to excuse myself from the room, go outside, and scream.
