| Hmmm. Do elves empty the pockets of clothes before laundering them? Or do their clothes not have pockets? (Do they tie pockets on, instead, if they need one?) And now I'm reminded (very dimly) of some book I read or TV show I saw where someone took pictures in another world, but when they got back to their own world and time, all the pictures were blank. I wonder what would happen if Jennifer took pictures on her iPhone? And there's the pebble again! Red herring, or...? I find myself wishing this might be a Eucatastrophy where Boromir survives... His thoughts about Faramir are interesting, and I find myself wondering if Faramir's suitability in this case (in Boromir's thoughts) is because he's a southern Ranger, while Boromir is a warrior. This struck me funny: It was thought best not to put the Dwarves next to the Prince of Mirkwood. And I love the hobbits' culinary analysis of what they're eating. My mom, an excellent cook, used to do the same thing. The feast sounds amazing! I'm glad the children were encouraged to try a few bites of everything. Otherwise, they might miss out on something delicious that only looks unfamiliar. It was interesting to see the Hall of Fire through the children's eyes. Author Reply: Dreamflower decides that Elvish clothes have no pockets. Keep reading, and you'll find out whether Boromir survives or not! No kidding! The younger children would have definitely missed out on some foods they would have liked otherwise. K.G. | |

| I’m so glad you put the menu down at the bottom! When they were eating the pie, I was thinking of a recipe i just found on a historical web site - an apple, pear, raisin, and fig pie. It sounded delightful! I have not even heard of quince … had to look that up. I love coming across such recipes, particularly because so many of them are made without all the sugar found in just about everything (in America, anyway). I’m glad the younger kids tried everything - as they discovered, some things are not so bad if you just give them a chance. (Says I, who like just about everything… ;-) I enjoyed the brief glance from Boromir’s POV - seems everyone is making their appearance! Author Reply: Yeah, really! Joey and Kaylee, in particular, are picky eaters, so they need much encouragement to try out the new foods. Glad you like the menu! Yep, everyone will be showing up! K.G. | |
