The other day as I was checking the Redbox website to see when The Hobbit would be available for rental, I was pleasantly surprised to see it in stock at several nearby locations. I thought about picking it up on my bike ride home, but later I got busy with other things and forgot about it. When I got home that evening, Stephanie said she was finishing up dinner and forbade me from entering (or looking into) the kitchen. It turns out she had a surprise waiting!
She had serendipitously prepared a Hobbit- (and Lord of the Rings-) themed dinner, and rented the DVD for our viewing pleasure after putting the kids down (we don't have a dollar theater in Bloomington and we are
far too cheap to watch anything at full price these days)!

| Lots of little yummy bites pulled from the text of the Hobbit. She had Keebler elves fill in for Elrond et al since authentic elves are in short supply. :) |

| Ok, the potatoes quote is adapted from the Two Towers, but it's one that we use a lot around the house. |
 |
| Perhaps not quite as filling as real lembas bread, but surely more delicious! |

| Thanks Stephanie for a fun and Unexpected Dinner! |
