What makes a great holiday? \u00a0 For me it’s friends, food and low-key social interaction. \u00a0Thus this new holiday was born. \u00a0Sometime after the frantic pace of the winter holidays have passed but before you’re ready for outdoor BBQ it’s time for Hobbit Fest.<\/p>\n
The plan: \u00a0watch all 3 LoTR movies (or all 3 Hobbit Movies, your choice) back to back in a single day while enjoying all 6 hobbit meals: \u00a0Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Lunch, Tea, Dinner, Supper.<\/p>\n
The first year we tried to make authentic meals mentioned in the books (think rabbit) but that turned out to be too much work, and this holiday is about food and hanging around.<\/p>\n
This year we are doing a potluck and my contributions will be coffee, eggs, bacon, tiny pancakes with strawberries and cream, hard cider, fresh-baked bread with jam and butter and, during a lull in the movies, potato latkes with sour cream and applesauce.<\/p>\n
I think this should become an official holiday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
