Well snickerdoodles for one thans to bananaOj
and my favorite I call holiday nuggets others call mexican wedding cookies.

Always the ever popular chocolate chip.

I also think we should throw in a batch of those double dutch chocolate miniature cakes. Sort of a chocolate cupcake with a melted cream cheese and chocolate chip center.

I'm hungry already!

They're really yummy cookies...but I've never made them, so I don't really know what goes into them. They're sort of a spicy version of sugar cookies, I think.

We're going to have quite a crowd here in a couple of days, I bet. Perhaps we should stock up on the ale, wine, and apple beer, make up some extra food and desserts, and scrub the bathtubs. Anyone willing to help me out?

*heads upstairs to start scrubbing*

*Jenny enters the room with wet hair, wearing a fluffy bathrobe. Gandalf strolls in behind her in similar garb. His beard is wet.*

Hey ladies! The downstairs hot springs room is fixed. I'm gonna dry my hair up here now. Are there still some cookies?

Yes, there's plenty. The fire is getting low though, Gandalf do you think you could help us out with it?

The Rangers of Ithilien are bringing in some more wood.

I think the kitchen hobbits will be okay without me for awhile. :;shakes head:: They're always stealing the food and, by the time it hits the oven, half of it's missing.

They say they don't want to play. *sigh* I only have the Tengwar version.

They're just afraid we'll beat them.

So, I suppose it's just a quiet night in front of the fire with a good book.

As far as I know, it's not something that can be taught online. Tengwar is one of the written languages developed for LOTR. (It's the really curvy style of writing seen on the ring and above the entrance into Moria.)

Feel free to download the Tengwar fonts - I have all of them on my computer. What better way to teach yourself, than type in tengwar and get a feel for the transliterations?

Go ahead sharkey, you can check to see if anyone is down there. Those of us here are still in vacation mode.

Of course there seems to be a couple of adventurous ones that are into mind games.

*Jenny quietly snuffs out the candles, blows a kiss into the darkness, and then shuts the door. She slips the One Key to the Wenches' Tavern into her pocket.*

We'll be back soon.

Wenches, I'll see you at WenchCon! Those of you who cannot attend in person, I know, will be with us in spirit.

*staggers out of woods, dropping shreds of grey rope along the way*

Sorry, I didn't mean to be gone so long. I got tied up with some of the Lothlorien elves.

I passed Bilbo Baggins on the Road a ways back. He's coming to the Tavern for a visit. Wenches! We need to tidy up. If we impress the old hobbit, he might put us in his book. We'll be famous!

How were the Lothlorien Elves?

Rakeesh has recently been promoted. He has anticipated Bilbo's needs and has been of invaluable service during WenchCon.

Mistress Jenny! I have the mint and Chamomile for the teas, and plenty of fresh mushrooms for the elder Master Baggins. I have the best hobbit chair warming by the fire and a fresh bag of Old Toby. I should make some of those little cakes he likes!"
