Humble Gifts by shirebound

Chocolate mint! A treat indeed! :-) This was a fun little piece. I enjoyed Arwen's desire to learn these recipes, and their obvious love and respect for the old Hobbit. His enjoyment of his craft makes even me think cooking might be fun... :-P Thanks for writing!

My pleasure! I'm so happy you enjoyed this. Giving the hobbits the respect and happiness they deserve is the main reason I first started writing (and reading) fanfic way back in 2002!

Oh, but this does sound propitious, and I, too, would enjoy the treat! Any means of sharing his recipe? (Hint, hint, hint!)

Bilbo will be such a valued addition to the household of Imladris! I love imagining his contented life there.

This is delightful! Bilbo is quite the charmer, and Elrond is in for another treat. Thanks for sharing this.

I almost never read shorts like this but the combination of characters caught my proverbial 'eye'. Great read. Lots of fun. Thanks for your hard work on this.

Thank you so much, Matt. Bless the Professor for leaving us so many delightful gaps to fill.

It would be so lovely to have a series of drabbles that double as food porn; introduction to Shire food for elves by Bilbo Baggins haha > < I love food fics, they make me hungry as well but so happy to read. Lovely story=)
Author's reply
I feel the same way; I love reading passages in books or fanfic about food. Thank you! :)
Andrea · 30 March 2016 · Chapter 1
Very nice! The only missing thing in the otherwise perfect Valley of Imladris is of course hobbit cookery :-) Happy belated birthday to you!
Author's reply
LOL, of course that's the only thing that was missing! Thank you, Andrea. :)

This was delightful. I love the idea of Bilbo sharing his recipes.
Author's reply
Thank you, Linda. I know that Bilbo would take great pleasure in bringing something new (and delicious) to the elves' lives.
UTfrog · 29 March 2016 · Chapter 1
Delightful. I can see Bilbo continuing to be modest even as the elves love his food.
Author's reply
Thank you! I like to imagine Bilbo as a valued member of the household in Rivendell, and I know he'd be delighted if the elves enjoyed his food.

Great story! I really like your portrait of Arwen and I'm happy that Aragorn will have some tasty Shire-food waiting for him in the Valley. Thanks for writing and sharing.
Author's reply
Thank you so much. It's fun to write about these folks in the lighter moments, when there's nothing more dire than a bit of missing spearmint.
