The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!

[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.

Yeah I know about the biscuit/cookie thing.

[RosieCotton]

Here's the number one definition for cake in the dictionary: "a breadlike food made from a dough or batter that is usually fried or baked in small flat shapes and is often unleavened."

THAT could be crisp on the corners, couldn't it?

[Overtaxed]

Yeah...I suppose it could....

[2Jedismom]

FYI...

The Lembas thing is debated about once every six months. Hold on to your hats, it's been known to get rather heated!

;-)

[RosieCotton]

Hair should be here momentarily to post that it's like thin cornbread...

So what we really need is lots and lots of samples to taste test, right?

[2Jedismom]

Yep...the cornbread theory will be along soon.

[2Jedismom]

I personally think that's a good idea! I have always thought we should have a Lembas cook-off at the Entmoot, but don't know how we'd manage it!

[RosieCotton]

My siblings and I discuss this, too. We practically got into an all out shouting match over lembas a few days after Christmas. Dad already thinks we're a bit too obsessed...I think that disturbed him a bit. ;-)

[RosieCotton]

Speaking of edibles, maybe the cookies will be there waiting when I get home! I'll let you know!

Tonight is music night! Or one of 'em, anyway.

[Dawntreader]

Not as heated as the dwarfs vs. the elves I hope!

[Overtaxed]

I remember reading in Letters that JRRT was getting a bit annoyed about the obsession with the "magical" qualities of lembas. All the man wanted was a simple way to keep the heroes provisioned. And here I am: all I want to know is how you bake a crisp cake!

[2Jedismom]

No no...we all ultimately agree on one thing...whatever they are, they are downright tasty!

I lurked and laughed the last time ya'll did this.

Lembas cook-off at the Entmoot

Now, there's a plan.

ksen - how much room in your kitchen?

[RMDupree]

Yes... a deep dark velvet. With diamonds studding the hem and neck...

We could use this material:

And these diamond brooches:

And clasp it at the neck with this:

[Wneighbor]

they are downright tasty!

for foreign food.

[Wneighbor]

I have a pattern that looks like this. 2J get the fabric. Ruthy, get those accessories. I'll sew.

[2Jedismom]

Yes...a blue so deep it's almost black...

Sounds perfect! Where did you find the cloak? Does it have a pattern?

[2Jedismom]

Wait! It sounds perfect, but I'd still like to see how PJ's costume department has done it up...their costumes have been right at or better than anything I could imagine.

We have a year! Maybe we'll see it in the previews!
