Some Merry Hobbits Celebrating in Shire Style
the mutual birthday of Hobbits Bilbo and Frodo
We want to thank our good friends the Enns, Godwins, Morgans, and Nyagas for celebrating with us! This was very special Hobbit Day as September 21st marked the 75th Anniversary of the publishing of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, the upcoming release of Peter Jackson's December 14th release of the new Hobbit "Trilogy", and of course the September 22nd birthdays of Bilbo and Frodo Baggins.

After a full day of breakfast; second breakfast; elevensies; luncheon; Afternoon Tea; and Dinner; party was gathered around the Hobbit's supper meal, with a fantastic menu of Hobbit food. Our menu was the creative work of all our guests. Together we shared:

Elven Lambos bread & hummus
Sam Gamgee's Connie Stew
Meat on the bone
Farmer Maggot's roasted potatoes and pilfered vegetables
Toad in the Hole with red onion gravy
And for dessert,... brownies, apple tarts, fresh fruit, chocolate birthday cake
