[Sca-cooks] Food in Tolkien(OOP) but event related....

[Linda Anderson]

Did anyone else get the Hobbit recipes in the local paper today?  It's a 
Knight-Ridder thingy by Betsy Friauf and had a recipe for Griddled lembas 
cakes,  and Bag End Seed Cake.  I can type those in to here if anyone wants 
them.  Otherwise, check a web search for Knight Ridder.  The article was 
titled: "Whether a fan of the books or the films, eat like a hobbit"
