| Come on, Boromir, get with the program! Play along, at least -- it's going to be a long journey if not... :-P Very nice, I had never really thought of them as being put and about during a holiday, but it only makes sense. Thanks for writing! Author Reply: Thanks. This was done in answer to a B2MEM challenge, but I found it fun to write this in anticipation for when I reached that far in "In Empty Lands." Aragorn learned the dangers of interfering with Frodo's mushrooms in a story I wrote some years ago, so it was fun to think how Boromir might fare with a similar situation. Heh! Thanks! | |

| Never cross a Baggins as Boromir is now learning. Mushrooms are excellent. I even like them raw in a garden salad. Boromir shoud have given them a try. Fried apples! I never heard of frying apples. Have you every tried them? Author Reply: Boromir has learned a good deal, but has a lot more to learn about Bagginses and their passions as well as their ability to avenge insults to themselves and their favorite dishes! Heh! Yes, I've had apple slices dipped in cinnamon and sugar and fried in a light oil--properly done, they are nice enough. | |

| Oh just lovely! I particularly enjoyed the gifts, perfectly chosen for each of the givers. And leave it to Boromir to aggravate a Hobbit about such a sacred topic: food, and particularly mushrooms! He has no idea what thin ice he's walking on. Another wonderful chapter! Author Reply: I can't imagine that the Hobbits wouldn't give some thought to gifts as Yule approached--what to give that will be light and appreciated upon the road? As for Boromir--well, he's learning, and the hard way this time. Thank you! | |

| “Actually, it is much further south of the Shire than it is east of it" -- That always amazes me. Oh yes, Aragorn knows first-hand that Boromir is likely to want new laces shortly! We are having summer this March, but it suddenly feels like winter. Author Reply: Distances in Middle Earth are often difficult to fathom, I've found. And it was fun to have yet another son of Westernesse run afoul of the Scoundrel of Buckland! Heh! Our crocuses came up and have faced hail, some snow, and rain, but have suffered their worst harm from driving winds that come and go. The pups don't know if they'll find the weather calm and sunny or cold, wet, and blowy between the time they go out the door and the time they come in again! | |
