| Judging Mud Pies by Larner | 8 Review(s) |
|---|---|
| PSW | Reviewed Chapter: 1 on 9/2/2016 |
| This was such a fun story! I loved it. :-) Just the thing little Hobnits would do after seeing all the goodies at the fair. And I'm always excited to find recipes at the end of anything. I would not have thought to put mayo in cake! Will have to give it a try. Thanks for writing! Author Reply: One of my college roommates introduced me to mayonnaise chocolate cake--if I recall correctly, the recipe was on the Hershey's tin at the time. About once a year there will be a recipe fiction challenge for the LOTR Community, and this seemed appropriate for the prompts I received that year. Dreamflower delights in recipe fics! | |

| This reminds of all those times I used to make mudpies and porridge and all the other wonderful things that a child's imagination can concoct. How nice to have an Uncle like Bilbo who would take me seriously like that. Thanks for a nice story. Brings back so many memories. Author Reply: I know. We used to play at bakeries when I was a child, making even mud doughnuts! Heh! Yes, I, too, have memories of such play, and it was fun to find a way to work it into the life of the Shire. Thanks so! Author Reply: (And thanks for the dual comments!) | |

| Sweet story! Love wee Frodo. :) And the proper faux seriousness of the judges. :) Namarie, God bless, Antane :) Author Reply: How it all must have amused both Bilbo and Drogo to play along. And even as a small child Frodo was probably already quite artistic in his endeavors, I'd think. Thanks so, Antane! | |

| Very nice! Hamfast played along perfectly with Bilbo and Drogo. Maybe, in the end he was a little too overenthusiastic ;-) But I'm quite sure his sons and Frodo loved it! Author Reply: Oh, I'm certain that they were most glad to have his apparent approval of their playing. Thanks so, Andrea! | |

| Cute story, and that meatloaf recipe sounds right tasty. Too bad I decided to go back to being vegetarian! :D ~~~~~{~@ Author Reply: I agree, Armariel--too bad you've given up meat once more! One thing I don't think I'll be able to do, actually. Glad you enjoyed the story! | |

| The judges did an excellent job. They complimented everyone rather than picking one as the best. That would have been unfair to the little ones. LOL Author Reply: This was one contest that wasn't about competition, after all. After all, Frodo and Half are about the equivalents of four-year-olds, so having one be "best" isn't something they're going to appreciate anyway. Thanks so, Tari! | |

How nice to have an Uncle like Bilbo who would take me seriously like that. Thanks for a nice story. Brings back so many memories. Author Reply: Oh, yes, I can so readily imagine Bilbo encouraging the use of imagination in his younger relatives. And I remember doing similar things myself! Heh! Glad we both enjoyed such activities. | |

| I quite enjoyed this story. When I was smaller, I loved playing with mud--my brother and I would play "Bakery" when the weather would let us. Thank you! Sweetpea Author Reply: My sister and I would do the same. With our older brother we tended to play Tarzan and a good deal of Buck Rogers and similar things, while by myself I was often found playing Doctor Doolittle. Heh! So glad it brought back pleasant memories. | |
