Happy LOTR Day!
Lamb Stew is in the fridge waiting to be reheated.
Sourdough boule and pumpernickel baguette are waiting to be sliced.
Apples are set out in a bowl.
Soprasetta is sliced and ready to be et.
Ditto with cheeses of all sorts.
Hard cider is chilling for the non-pregnant geeks, ginger ale for the knocked up one.
Strawberries have been mashed with a bit of sugar.
Shortcake is cooling.
Whipped cream is chilling.
Seed crackers for the cheese & sausage are waiting to be put out.
Bagels are awaiting their cream cheese and lox (or butter & tomato pour moi)
Eggs and breakfast sausage (for anyone feeling peckish after all this) are at the ready.
Teapot is filled, and ready for constant use over the next 14 hours.
We’re all set for the guests to arrive.
Happy Lord of the Rings (and eating like a hobbit) Day!!!
(gollum.)
This is the greatest movie event ever!!! I am off to tell my husband all about it and am glad you are so good about posting details and menu because I am so vicariously enjoying this event along with you guys.
Enjoy! Enjoy!

I love it! Sounds like a perfect day to me.
Mash ‘em, boil ‘em, stick ‘em in a stew!
I just showed your post to my husband who is perhaps one of the biggest LOTR fans, and he said, “Where does she live? Let’s go!”
Sadly, you are on the other coast…
I wish I could join in- have a great time!
Sounds yummy – and you will not believe it, but part 1 just showed up from netflix today – me and hubby are going to snuggle up and watch it!
Sounds like heaven!
Wow! What a spread. Me = jealous. I love that you have this tradition. I told MrBeep about it and he exclaimed, “That’s really cool! I love that they have stew and all kinds of hobbit food.”
