This weekend has been pretty low key----weather was terrible both yesterday and the day before. On friday we apparently broke the record this winter for amount of rain in a single day. There was also hail for much of the day. Luckily for us, we had other plans. We got up at 8 am to begin watching all extended edition Lord of the Rings movies. It was an epic and long day, and after we finally finished watching at 9:30 pm (including an hour break for me to cook dinner for everyone), we went to a local pub to drink a beer to the destruction of the one ring.
Yesterday was similarly uneventful---in the evening we went to a local bar/concert venue and saw a beatles cover band. They were really great, but every time they started talking between songs and it was in hebrew, I was a little surprised. On the other hand, it was super fun and it was great to rock out to the beatles.
why does the lord of the rings viewing sound like it could have been happening in our orange and purple basement?!?!? Was it a theme dinner menu? Found this one for you:
ReplyDelete~lembas is a special bread made by the Elves maybe you could use pitta bread with whatever filling you like
~ Ent-draught was an extremely invigorating drink of the Ents, brewed from the waters of the mountain springs on Methedras. These springs were the source of the river Entwash and the water had special properties. Maybe you could use a flavoured mineral water.
~miruvor is a warm and fragrant clear cordial of the Elves. It gives the drinker renewed strength and vitality. Miruvor is used by the Elves at their festivals. They do not reveal how miruvor was made, but it is thought to come from the honey of the undying flowers in the gardens of Yavanna. Maybe you could use a tea with honey.
~Orc "energy drink" this is an unnamed liquid given by Uglúk to the captive and weak Merry and Pippin. It gives them strength during their journey to Isengard. Described as having a burning sensation when drunk, it gives Merry a "hot fierce glow" inside. Maybe you could use vodka and redbull,
~honey-cake is a twice-baked cake made by the "skin-changer" Beorn. Maybe you could make or buy a honey cake.
~cram is a biscuit-like food made by the Men of Esgaroth and Dale. Maybe you could buy or make some biscuits and name it cram.
Are you impressed!?!?!?!?
