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.

Hmm, is it better to stomp in a huff or step in a funkle?

Glad to hear you are getting a refund... we have to pay some more in (ugh).

I took a pic of Frodo at the Narrows today, but I wimped out and took the pic from a hill overlooking the bridge and the perspective is all wrong. It lacks artistic drama.

Plus, Mount Rainier is there in the background, but it is masked in clouds. Need a clear day!

I may go back, I wasn't a long ways from where I needed to be, I just may need to hike down the hill off the road a bit!

Hmmm, I dunno... it has kind of a "Monster Frodo attacks Tokyo" feel to it... I kinda like it!

Heh.... You are right... It does have a Monster Frodo kind of look.

I really should take it from *on* the bridge, but it is too windy to let go of him to take the picture. He'd end up in the drink, or in traffic, for sure!

"My friends think I am a little weird!"

Apple pie and cheese is a fairly old tradition, far as I know, but lots of folks look at you sideways if you mention it.

Wonder how cheddar is on lembas?

You'd have to tie a rock to his standee (ouch!)

Probably not safe to stop on the bridge anyway!

Good idea! - I am only waiting up long enough to put the horses to bed, and I say it is time now!

Good night! Talk to y'all in the morning!

Gooood Morning!

Can't believe I beat Corin in this morning. Must still be recovering from dwarfmoot.

OT, I'll get ya the recipe this evening and no, you don't really need a springform pan. I make mine in a round cake pan lined with foil- it pops out quite nicely.

Who gets him next? - No one has a scheduled time till June! So one of these folk want to go next?

Well...some of the things I want to do with him are dependant on the snow actually melting, so I'd better be a bit later! Is there an opening in, say, July?
