I'm getting the impression that hobbit cookery can be dangerous. Perhaps it needs to come with a warning label?

Blow on it first, Elrohir. Didn't your nana teach you anything about hot drinks. LOL!

Hehehe! Poor elf. That's happened to all of us. Mulled wine sounds like a good idea right now, even if it is only 1pm. If it's as cold there as it is here, I see why you though of this one. :-)

Author Reply: Poor Elrohir! All Bilbo's best intentions go wrong.

I love mulled wine. There's nothing better than a glass on a cold winter's day!

Ouch! too hot always spoils the taste. Poor frozen warrior! You are so mean to him.

I miss your stories. I hope you lots more to post.

Author Reply: Poor Elrohir! An early draft had him share a wink with Elladan and then assure Bilbo that he was quite right, and it was better to be safe than sorry - but as the challenges evolved into a series of unfortunate events, I had to re-write :)

I miss writing. Sadly, the muse has taken a long vacation ...

Alas, the warning came too late, obviously. Although as long as the twins had lived they ought to have learned steaming drinks may well be hot enough to scald!

Author Reply: That's true, of course! The first draft had them drinking the wine on the grounds of 'better safe than sorry' (the original title), but as the series evolved I changed it to reflect yet another inadvertent disaster.
