oh thank eru, i thought this guild involved cooking hobbits!! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0>

by **eilona** » Thu Sep 27, 2001 2:54 pm

Wow!!! Am I ever glad you've started this! I wonder if you get enough recipes if there'll be an official cookbook. Wouldn't that be something? Eilona

by **bramblerose** » Thu Sep 27, 2001 3:39 pm

that would be so cool!!

by **Vercelestarrioler** » Thu Sep 27, 2001 4:01 pm

Cooking? Hobbits? You have to ask my Personal Cook Gorgarat for that, who managed the Ruthless Reception in the AMMM Sometime ago....<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-devil.gif"border=0> Lord V.

Hmmm, how to cook 13 dwarves and a hobbit . . . personaly, I'd mince them and stick them in a pie. Anyone know a good barbecue sauce for hobbit toes?

by **Volcanus** » Thu Sep 27, 2001 7:33 pm

OK I am not staying around here to find out how~~

by **skrewball** » Thu Sep 27, 2001 8:26 pm

youre not a hobbit, volcanus. we wouldnt eat men of the dale. too stringy.

by **Volcanus** » Fri Sep 28, 2001 5:31 am

Well in that case maybe I'll stay!

by **Rodia** » Fri Sep 28, 2001 12:33 pm

He he.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> Fear not, people (and halflings), there will be no cooking of hobbits here. It would be a shame if the best chefs got eaten...Volcanus, stay and tell us how you make cram...else I will.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> The purpose of this Guild is to collect as many Middle-Earthian recipes (however vile and putrid they may seem<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0>) and put them together in one easily accessible place (webwise as much as I manage it. Unless someone is jumping at the idea of doing a site?) (maybe this would be a good time to mention that I'm terrible at organizing things, but will do my bestest <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif"border=0> ) Anyways,my theory is there are as many cuisines in Middle-Earth as there are peoples.Eilona's cookbook idea sounds delicious..(who knows!)..and there will definitely be a sort of booklet made for Guild members. But we need recipes first. So send them in.I'll be working on the site..<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif"border=0> This should be an active guild, so try out the dishes at home!And comment on the tastes and possible ingredient substitutes and variations. Any pictures (in small sizes,svp) of chefs and their masterpieces and how the latter disappear off the table are also very welcome.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> For these, my email: rethe@poczta.onet.pl or rodiaczek@wp.pl If anyone has any (and I mean ANY) ideas about this Guild, please, input! If fate allows, we may even meet up someday and have a grand feast... Though we (me) missed Bilbo's Party this year.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif"border=0> (Eru help me, what have I gotten myself into.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif"border=0> )

by **Rodia** » Fri Sep 28, 2001 12:37 pm

Oh dear. Why do I always get the <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif"border=0> and <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif"border=0> mixed up? <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif"border=0> stupid.

by **gimli_axe_wielder** » Fri Sep 28, 2001 1:53 pm

While DO NOT condone the cooking of Dwarves, I think I shall become a member here all the same.. only one problem.. if it doesn't come in a can, i cant cook it! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>

by **Rodia** » Sat Sep 29, 2001 1:11 pm

Okay, people, I got working on the site. It looks very nice. Rather like a frame with no picture in it, if you get my meaning... Or , if you don't, imagine a cookbook with blank pages...hm? So I'll start by putting in a recipe that I got from someone who got it from someone and to be honest I have no idea who Jincey is, but the cakes taste FIIIIIIINE.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> If Jincey is listening and wants none of this, just let me know. You next. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> Lembas from Lothlorien ---------------------------------------------------------------------- by Jincey Ingredients 6 TBSP butter or margarine, slightly softened 2 cups self-rising flour 1 TBSP granulated sugar 1/2 cup raisins (optional) 1 egg, well beaten 1/2 cup milk 4 TBSP heavy cream Mallorn leaves With a pastry blender of fork, cut margarine into the flour in a mixing bowl until the mixture resembles cornmeal. Do this rapidly so the butter does not melt. Add the sugar and if desired, 1/2 cup of raisins. In a small bowl, beat the egg and milk together until mixed. Reserve 1 TBSP of this mixture to brush the tops of the lembas. Add the cream and egg mixture to the flour and mix just until combined into a stiff, soft dough. Knead three or four times on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough to a 3/4" thickness and cut with an oval or leaf shaped cookie cutter. Place on a lightly greased baking sheet, leaving 1" of space between lembas. Brush the tops of the lembas with the reserved egg-milk mixture. Bake for 12 -13 minutes in a preheated 400 degree oven. For safe keeping, wrap each lemba individually in a fresh, clean mallorn leaf. If these leaves are unavailable in your area, store the lembas in a tightly closed container. Makes about 1 1/2 dozen lembas.

Hail and Well met to the Cooking Guild!! I am sorry for not contributing anything of great import, but shall rectify that now. HOBBITS FAVOURITE SOUP (LEEK AND POTATO) 1 Tbs olive oil 2 lbs leeks washed and sliced 1 1/2 quarts chicken stock Salt and Pepper 2 tsp dried each thyme and rosemary(1 tbsp fresh) 1/2 tsp anise seeds 3 bay leaves 2 lbs russet potatoes 2 stalks of celery In a large pot, saute` the leeks and celery with the oil until softened. Don't allow to brown. Add chicken stock, a little salt and pepper and herbs. Peel and slice potatoes adn add to soup. Bring to gentle boil, then simmer until potatoes are well cooked. Remove from heat, puree in a food processor. Pass through a fine strainer. Reboil in a clean pot and correct seasonings. Serve in warm bowls garnish with finely chopped thyme. I personally have never bothered to strain and reheat the soup. I also must confess I have never made this particular recipe, and have never followed a recipe more than twice. Eilona

Hey Rodia,how about making a couple of batches of everything.I may try some of it!

by **Rodia** » Sun Sep 30, 2001 6:41 am

Thank you eilona! You are officially proclaimed FIRST CONTRIBUTOR. And that will be mentioned on the site...Potato soup, yum! Yum yum. Volcanus, yeah, I'd love to,but do you expect me to feed the whole Guild? A triple batch of those lemba takes me a whole evening, and it's gone by the time I come home the next day...<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif"border=0> But whenever you're in town you're welcome to drop in.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> Pfff...I gotta get organised here. I'll place eilona's Soup on the site and will *try* to put it up tonight to get started. Will let you know when.

by **Rodia** » Sun Sep 30, 2001 3:38 pm

Well, the site is ready, but I'm having trouble putting it up.will try again soon.

by **gimli_axe_wielder** » Wed Oct 03, 2001 8:45 pm

by **Rodia** » Thu Oct 04, 2001 5:45 am

Yes please, Eilona. Just don't throw them all at me at the same time,will you?<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif"border=0> Axe-wielding Gimli, what are you laughing at there?<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0> Soon to come: pate rolls from my friend Kubus...(delicious) And what do you think I should put on the "About the Guild " page? Also, should the members list have alliances mentioned? I'm not usually this committed, I'm just trying to dodge studying.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif"border=0> NB:I'll be offline from Monday til Friday...going to Vilnius in Lithuania! Who wants a postcard?<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0>

by **eilona** » Thu Oct 04, 2001 7:34 pm

Axe wielding Gimli. I have a strong desire to give you cold asparagus and potato bisque! You made me lose my thought. Rodia I would like a postcard please! Which recipes from the 700 books would you like? Have fun in Vilnius and have a safe trip.

by **eilona** » Thu Oct 04, 2001 7:37 pm

OOps I forgot to give my email address. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif"border=0> entgirl@hotmail.com

by **Rodia** » Fri Oct 05, 2001 1:16 pm

Hm...I meant a real postcard.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> Snail-mail like. Remember? Stamps..the kind you don't have to print out to put on your wall.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0> But your email will come in handy too, he he.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> Recipes..hm,let me see. I would like recipe number twelve from book 82, and number seventy-six from book 201. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif"border=0> As to Gimli, I can't apply any virtues to cold asparagus...maybe you should let him off the hook this one time..can't go scaring people off, there aren't many of us as it is.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif"border=0> PS. I like your sig quote! I always imagine how they jumped when they heard that booming voice behind them.Larks!<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> As to Vilnius...I'm still going, but I've caught a cold and really hope to lose it before monday, because a whole day's travel when you're sick is no fun.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif"border=0> Will be back with some Vilnian bread... if I make it back.<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif"border=0>

by **eilona** » Sat Oct 06, 2001 4:58 pm

Point taken. Ok Gimli you've been given a reprieve--- for NOW. <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> Although my niece and nephew can't say the same. They were my first g-pigs. Thanks for noticing my sig. I took a long in looking for something short and fun. I'll give you my home address for the postcard. I LOVE snailmail. Gimli when are you going to give us your fav recipe?? Something vegan perhaps<img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0><img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif"border=0> Have a great weekend all.
