Then Tuesday night I saw it under seige, victim of a DRAGON spirited squirrel raid! such violence, the little porker ran off with a big piece! Leaving Frodo standing hungry no doubt, enjoy, Think TOLKIEN.....
homeless are the nymphs...... but the dreams can live on, right?
I thought I had elves and trolls and hobbits and awaited Bilbo and Frodo, so were the DRAGONS actually squirrels?
a Middle Earth menu like this was anticipated!
Yavanna, a soup popular among elves, with bacon, peppers, onions and mushrooms . . . Middle Earth's idea of herb focaccia and a tomato, mozzarella and mushroom salad. . .
Mushrooms
A favorite food of Hobbits. In the Shire, Farmer Maggot was noted for the fine mushrooms he grew at Bamfurlong, his farm in the Marish on the west bank of the Brandywine River. As a child, a yearning for mushrooms led Frodo Baggins to Farmer Maggot's fields to steal from his crop. Maggot caught young Frodo and threatened to set his dogs on him if he ever trespassed on his land again. When Frodo and his companions found themselves in Farmer Maggot's fields as they made their way to Crickhollow on September 25, 3018, Maggot remembered Frodo but did not make good on his threat. Instead, the Hobbits were treated to a meal including a dish of mushrooms and bacon, and Mrs. Maggot prepared a basket of mushrooms for Maggot to give to Frodo when they parted.
