Happy Second Breakfast! It was a wild party- all the Dwarves showed up, shedding their scarves and hats hither and yon. Even Gandalf dropped by- he left his bag by the bookcase! I hope he remembers to come by and pick it up before the movie premiers- he might need it for his opening scene…
While they were planning their route to take on the Dragon Smaug, I noticed somebody eavesdropping by the door…
Do you see him? Bilbo is such a little fellow, he fits in with the Hallway décor!
Thorin insisted on writing up an Itinerary for the festivities, which Bilbo updated with a few necessary items, namely the Washing Up, which any good Hobbit can tell you is Very Important for any impending adventure preparations!
I suppose you’re interested in learning what they ate whilst planning their epic journey, eh? Well, there were a few things laid out…
Bunting makes a good, cheerful atmosphere for any planning party…
There were Sausages, nicely plump and browned in apple cider…
There was a good dish of gruel (requested by Bombur as an appetizer), and a plate of Cheese and Pickles…
A proper pot of Tea with a plate of Scones for Gandalf- notice that rather ostentatious saque by the bookcase…
A few boiled eggs for the youngsters Fili and Kili, along with a few choice jams, jellies, and mustard …
and lastly a beautiful crusty Beer Bread set out with a full crock of butter was set out for Thorin’s enjoyment.
Gandalfs traveling bag caused quite a stir- everyone had to go get his to show of their skills!
A bit of bunting was strung up to give a bit of cheer to the grim proceedings, and Gandalf threw a bunch of maps and travelogues on top of the bookcase when he sat down..
For some reason Bilbo has a model of the tavern The Foot and Fang on his bookshelf…
A few hours later they all took their leave after many “thanks’” “lovely party’s” and several suspicious lumps in their sacks. Upon closing the door I discovered every last crumb had been swept up and even the heel from the loaf had been taken. Hrrumph! I don’t know whether to be glad- no leftovers to pack away- or despondent- no leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Oh well, at least now I know to make a bit more for next year’s party.
Thank you for stopping by our little Second Breakfast celebration- have a Great Weekend everyone!
