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.

Corin, no one reads the manual.

Well of course they don't. The manual is for trouble-shooting. If he gives me anymore trouble...

He figured out the basics on his own. But when he wants a special effect or he gets a trouble signal, he needs to look it up, 'cause I don't know what to tell him.

Why does it seem that the quest for discovering the true nature of lembas will never be fulfilled?

*sigh*

Let's talk about shubbery again. It's definitely more fun! :)

I don't think lembas is crisp, witnessing the way they bite into it in the movie. Didn't make a crunchy sound....

How do you bake a crisp cake without burning it?

OT! Is that you whipping up your umpteenth experimental batch of lembas?

What conclusions are you coming to?

Well it was crisp in the book, at least on the edges. Gimli bit off a "crisp corner".

According to the book it's crisp....at least at the corners.

OK, so the corners get crisp after traveling a while. But the body must be more chewy....

I think this has something to do with the definition of the word "cake". It doesn't have to mean what we usually mean here in the states when we hear the word.

Lembas is like a thin corn bread.

But crispy on the outside...like a stale donut.
