In February 2018, my wife & I decided to embark on a gruelling quest: to watch all three Lord of the Rings films (extended editions, of course), while attempting to eat everything that got eaten on screen. We were doing it in memory of my parents, who had both recently died, and who had loved both LOTR and good food. It blew up into a bit of a thing online, so we've decided to do it again this year (2019), starting at 6am on Saturday February 16th. And this time, we're inviting you to watch - and eat - along with us. In this article, I'll tell you all you need to know to follow in our footsteps: what to buy, how to prepare it, and when in the films to eat it.   

Having said his last farewells to the Shire, Merry visits Edoras and its King one final time.

Saving this fic that I read back on ff.net back in the day

"We were not lovers ," Legolas said. He had thought Gimli understood, that he had sired children because he had desired children, not out of love, but perhaps he had not explained it as well as he thought. "We agreed on three children, and three we had, and I have not seen her since Certa and I came West." He was silent, turning Gimli's hand over in his, and back again, feeling the fine hairs on the back of it and the warmth of Gimli's blood beneath the skin. "I have never had a lover . It is only these past months that I have come to yearn for one -- not merely someone for children. I feel--" and his stomach leapt up into his throat and his voice caught-- "I feel old, and torn by the call of the Sea, and yet my heart cries that here in this land is the one for me, the one to keep by me for all the times to come." He released Gimli's hand and pressed his knuckles to his mouth, stifling a cry of pain that wished to come yelping out of him. His loneliness was a slow bleed inside him, as terrible and insistent as the call of the Sea. Seeing Certavoriel had eased the ache, for a few hours, but now it had returned, and he knew not what would stanch its flow.

Aragorn’s claim to Gondor’s throne rests entirely on his being descended — after 3,000 years — from Valandil and Isildur, who were kings of Arnor. The closest real-world parallel to this would be an Italian man claiming descent from Romulus showing up in Ankara and claiming to be King of Turkey, because Romulus was supposedly descended from Prince Aeneas of Troy. Imagine if you found out your ancestor, thirty-seven generations prior, was the brother of an Egyptian pharaoh. Do you know what that would make you, in terms of Egyptian political succession? NOTHING. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
