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.

Rain? What's rain? it didn't rain for months after i moved here. I don't think we have any in our forecast now either. But, I'll water.

Are you sure that's not Lamb+Bass?

I think that is the alternate recipe used by Cirdan Crocker out in the Grey Havens. Since they are on the coast they get to catch some nice sea bass to add with the lamb.

It certainly has no jalapenos in it!

Good morning one and all!

There continue to be whispers of a nameless fear in the East. Pray for our Men and Women, Hole Dwellers!

I received some terrible news last night. It seems that my family is under some serious spiritual attack. My niece disappears and is thankfully found alive, and now something else ten times worse has happened to someone else in my family. :(

Let me go ahead and get breakfast on since I'd rather wait to tell everybody what it is when I have more details. But first....

WELCOME ETERNAL HOPE!!! I am so thrilled to have another Hobbit Hole visitor. Come on, come in! Breakfast is ready and I hope you are quick since the Dwarves are notorious for snatching up the bacon. :) Just so you are prepared, you will be asked the following questions...

What is Lembas?
What Race are you? Elf, Hobbit, Dwarf, Man, etc.
Do you like Elves?
Do Balrogs have wings?

That's just a ritual around here, so feel free to answer if you like or just eat and be merry! *grinning*

OK, breakfast is ON!

Pancakes and maple syrup, fried eggs and grits, 4 platters of plump, juicy sausages and 6 platters of nice, crispy bacon are ready. Sliced tomatoes and sauteed mushrooms are on the hot plate. Sliced fruit (melon, berries, pineapple, etc) is on the sideboard next to the basket with low-cal and high-cal muffins, buttermilk biscuits and glazed donuts. Coffee is steaming hot and very strong, and the juices are in the icechest. Hot cocoa is available on the stove and if you want marshmellows, check the canister by the sugar. ENJOY!!!

Rosie - Congrats on your first paying gig! May it be the first of many and may the rewards of your talent increase!!

You could always invite the Dwarves over and give 'em a few pints.

.

Then again, that might kill your lawn, nevermind.

Well, that's enough to upset all that bacon I ate up from Corin.

But with my luck, as soon as I put seeds in the ground drought will hit.

I put down grass seed on Saturday. Hasn't rained since...

You guys are just about the only people I can say that to.

I know how you feel, Master Dwarf. I would have long lost my mind if it weren't for the Hobbit Hole.

That will probably be the Black & Blue Moot.

We will not discriminate.
