My sincerest apologies for not having continued my planned series of essays on Galadriel yet. I still hope to return to them someday, but for the time being I don't quite have the focus to tackle them. It is always my own personal policy to avoid half measures. I want to do justice to analysis of Galadriel, so I would rather shelve those essays and return to them when I feel that I have the time and inspiration to complete them properly.
Instead, I have decided to take a different approach to my blog over the next few months.
My beloved kitchen, where I plan and prepare Hobbit Day.
As an avid baker and cook, it is my pleasure to plan an annual Hobbit Day feast for my friends, to occur on or around September 22nd, in celebration of Bilbo and Frodo’s birthday. I serve multiple courses, ranging in difficulty from simple to complex, at pre-planned break periods during a screening of a Tolkien adaptation.

I have long been perfecting the art of planning and executing Hobbit Day, and I hope you will join me for the next seven months as I detail my foundational concepts and planning process for a immersive and successful Hobbit Day celebration. In addition to the nuts and bolts of the planning process, I will share recipes and tutorials for cooking, baking, and presentation.

Just call me the Martha Stewart of Middle-earth!
Cheers, mellyn!
