"The Inheritance Cycle is bad because it's just a ripoff of Star Wars/Lord of the Rings but with dragons-"

#the inheritance cycle #like. maybe the first book but it breaks out of that mould pretty fucking quickly #and comes into its own. and even then bitch i like lotr and star wars its a two cake situation #there's also the argument that its clearly written by a 15 year old and while yeah it kinda shows #i have read worse by more advanced authors. by far #and the overall feel of the books is really good and fun so like. who cares lol

Hey folks n blokes! A few days ago ya might've been one of the people who helpfully responded to my question asking which LotR recipe we should cook next, and you all had great ideas. Including a golum salmonella sushi platter. There were a few that twinkled directly into my eyes, but only one fish gets fried at a time! Thanks @vensre for the suggestion!

Today from Lord of the Rings, we will be making Bilbo Baggin's Seed Cakes

(As always you can find the cooking instructions and full ingredient list under the break-)

MY NAMES CROSS NOW LETS COOK LIKE ANIMALS

SO, “what goes in to a Seed Cake?” YOU MIGHT ASKIf you're an amer*can like me, you might have never heard of a seed cake outside of the context of bird feeders.

Salted butter

Fine sugar

Whole milk

Eggs

Almond flour

Vanilla extract

Brown sugar

Caraway/fennel seeds

Ground anise seed

Ground nutmeg

The real key ingredient here is the caraway seeds. The factor that ties all recipes together. Important note, anise seeds and anise stars are 2 separate things!

AND, “what does a Seed Cake taste like?” YOU MIGHT ASKTastes like what an old bookstore smells like.

Smells like warm licorice

But without the chemical-y aftertaste

Take a shortbread and make it denser and with less airpockets. Thats your texture.

A little bit like gingerbread but nuttier, earthier

Very rich

Beautiful crumbly brown outside, soft teddybear-brown inside

Pairs well with a glass of milk hahaha

"A wonderful blend of sweet and savoury, seed cakes make a perfect after-supper morsel."-LotR Online. Mentioned both in the books and the MMO, being served after dinner ties into their real-life origins! Before caraway seeds in cakes became popular in the victorian era, they were often candied and served as dessert because caraway seeds help with after-meal indigestion.

. used an herb grinder for the anise seeds . used light brown sugar where brown sugar called for . used blanched almond flour . if i made this again, would probably use higher quantity of nutmeg or add cinammon

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From entering the kitchen, to having this in my stomach, it took roughly 2 hours? Ish? Definitely make sure to let your 2 sticks of butter and 3 eggs sit out a bit beforehand so they reach room temp, it helps them whip together the warmer they are.

The most difficult part of this recipe was finding the seeds. Everything except the caraway/fennel and anise seed i already had, and maybe its a recent thing but since when did grocery stores start charging such an obscene amount for a regular bottle of spices? Is it not enough to have everything else infected by price-gouging, now we'll be scraping pennies for our little flavor heavens? Bleh. 

The seed cake is a new experience for me also, and many pardons if some sacred seed cake rule has been broken today. It tasted fantastic! The licorice was a strong flavor I've never experienced in this form before, it suits itself well. If you're baking for children or have a sweeter palette, the bitterness may be a bit much, but just have them dunk it in milk honestly. It did feel like there was some 'empty space' on my palette while eating- if that makes any sense? It couldve been layered with another flavor but i still can't put my finger on what that missing flavor could be.

Definitely be careful to put the eggs into the butter/sugar a little bit at a time. I got impatient the first-go, and the eggs incorporated less, and it led to a greasier cake. People seem to say that storing these and eating them the next day makes them taste better, i cannot attest as i ate both within the same day of making them. 

This recipe has earned itself a glimmering 7/10, for making my kitchen smell nice but also making me use a standmixer if i want my arms to stay attached (with 1 being food that makes one physically sick and 10 being food that gives one a lust for life again.) 

🐁 ORIGINAL RESIPPY TEXT BELOW 🐁

Ingredients:

220g salted butter

225g fine sugar

16g of milk

3 eggs

175g almond flour

2 drops vanilla extract

Pinch of brown sugar

1tbsp caraway seeds

1 1/2tbsp  ground anise seed

1/2tsp ground nutmeg

Method:

Pre-heat the oven to 320F. Soften the butter and let eggs come to room temperature. 

Cream the butter by itself for around 5 minutes with a standmixer on med., until light in color. Add sugar and continue until the mixture is pale and fluffy.

In a seperate bowl beat the eggs until 'frothy'. 

Stir a small amount at a time of the eggs iinto the butter and sugar mixture, making sure each portion incorporates as you go.

Add the caraway, ground anise seed, ground nutmeg, and vanilla extract.

Gently fold in the almond flour. Careful not to overmix.

Add a tablespoon of milk, or until the batter keeps its form but drips off an upside down spoon.

Pour into a greased 9-inch round cake pan, if not available muffin/cupcake pans should also work.

Sprinkle a bit of brown sugar on top.

Bake for 40-50 minutes. Cool for 10 before serving.

Omg y'all, my husband's family had a tradition growing up that when any of them were sick (which was pretty often, since he's one of seven kids), they would watch the 1977 Rankin/Bass Hobbit movie. Their dad really loves Tolkien but was generally not a fan of letting the kids use The Tech (tm), so I think this is the compromise the older kids wrangled from him

I have heard about this movie from him and his siblings, but didn't really know anything about it myself since my parents weren't super into Tolkien, so I got into it with the PJ LOTR movies

ANYWAY so we've been sick all week and James found out that movie's on HBO, so he sat me down and made me watch it as a Time Honored Tradition

And I.

Bilbo has approximated Leia buns??? I spent an hour and seventeen minutes looking at him, but still have not figured out what is going on with this guy's hair

They really leaned hard into "there's thorin and uhhhhhhhhhh twelve other dwarves idk their names don't matter." The only ones I could keep straight were fili and kili, since they were blond, and balin and dwalin, because they have like, six-heads and brain wrinkles on their head lol

James always described Gollum in this movie as a booger, and now I understand why. They also made him blind, which doesn't make a ton of sense in the context of Bilbo using the ring to escape, but imo it's a neat design choice nonetheless

They really did THIS to thranduil oropherion I am still laughing my ASS off at this. He also spoke with a really shitty, half assed French accent for no discernable reason

And then there was? Smaug??? Who has laser beams for eyes?? And fur on his back?? And a tiger's face???? And pecs????????

I was too flabbergasted to remember to take more pictures but the conversation right before the battle went like this:

Thorin, Bard, and Thranduil: let's fuck these guys up!!

Gandalf: STOP you fools!!! As we speak there is a FOURTH army of goblins on its way here!!!

Thorin, Bard, and Thranduil:

Thorin: King Thranduil, my dearest friend and greatest ally, I would be honored to join forces with you to defeat this evil

Thranduil: oh mighty king thorin, it would be an honor [I wish I was making this up, if it weren't made in the 70s I would've thought it was a meme]

Also, at the end, bombur shows up in front of Bilbo only to keel over and die, before we cut to Bilbo's conversation with gandalf:

Bilbo: how many of our original thirteen remain??

Gandalf: seven :(

Bilbo: and thorin??

Gandalf: soon, it will be six :((((

No explanation for this or like, explanation of who else they arbitrarily killed off or anything

So anyway, this movie was An Experience (tm) and I wanted to share and also, y'all should watch it if you get the chance bc lol

#mine #the hobbit #lotr #i think thranduil takes the cake for me #but smaug is such a 'wtf???' that he gets an honorable mention too #sry for long post lol

sidebar i think the aragorn-boromir duo is severely underrated not in a shippy way but in a 2 jocks in ur friend group comically underequipped to fight a balrog but they telepathically agree to refuse to leave gandalf until he yells at them way

#aragorn yelling elendil was the icing on the cake #like he KNOWS the lore. on god they are so stupid ❤️ #phil reads lotr

did any tumblr friends over here attend the 22nd september performance of LOTR musical? it was ticketed as like a special birthday party event, does anyone know... what was so special about it? 🤣

#loren talks #LOTR musical #i saw some ppl's stories that suggested it was raining so they were indoors? #but i did also see the photo of the cake and also a clip on one of the watermill's stories where everyone's singing happy birthday #was there... anything else?

Recently while watching LotR I remarked that it looks like the uruk hai are born of pudding, and immediately decided I had to make an uruk hai pudding cake. I sculpted lil pud out of marzipan and painted him with molasses and cocoa. I pulled up the scene on YouTube to have the sound in the background for this video and my cat wouldn’t stop meowing which gives the impression there’s an orc in the background somewhere eating a cat. And then I didn’t notice an ad until it started playing and my hands were covered in pudding so I just let it play because it sounds completely unhinged. The moisture melted off a lot of the detail from lil pud’s face, sadly, and it was hard to find good lighting for pictures. On the plus side chocolate and molasses are delicious together

It doesn't bear thinking about #Guarantee they end each night with dead bugs in their foot hair and miserable or no a hobbit wouldn't just leave that shit there no way #I've had the combs thought before but the practicalities really come around in places like this #Personally I think hobbits carry combs whenever they go out and might need them #Don't want to show up with dusty windseed curls to Mrs. Bracegirdle's when she invites you for her best plum cake #I can see it now #Did you hear about miss Eglantine??

I know where my satisfaction lies

Or, a very short story of Bilbo and Frodo.

Hobbits generally don’t grow larger than four feet tall. Anybody taller than that undoubtedly has traces of elven or human blood, and usually doesn’t fit into their own home. These giants among hobbits are ostracized or pitied- often both. They’re certainly not considered attractive, at any rate.

So one can only imagine Bilbo Baggins’ surprise when he caught his young nephew staring out the window at their gardener’s son, who was the same age (eleven, if his memory served) and already four-foot-one.

“Frodo,” called Bilbo over his shoulder, “get away from the window, it’s rude to stare.”

He didn’t move.

“Frodo!”

Frodo’s head whipped around to meet Bilbo’s eyes. He supposed he would always be startled by how much the boy looked like his father, between the bouncing brown curls and the rosy cheeks. But he didn’t act like him in the slightest. For one thing, Drogo knew his place and would never stare so shamelessly at someone’s height.

He might’ve at age twelve, of course.

“Sorry, Uncle Bilbo,” he murmured, clearly taking care not to let his gaze wander back to the window. “I just got distracted.”

“It’s alright, my boy,” said Bilbo with a smile. “But we mustn’t stare at people, no, no! The poor lad’s unfortunate enough as it is, without everyone’s eyes on him all the time.”

“I think he must be very fortunate, Uncle.”

He cocked his head. “How’s that, Frodo?”

“Well, girls must love him. Look at his freckles!”

Ah.

“And he’s so tall- he must be able to ride a real horse!”

“I’m sure,” said Bilbo, trying to stifle a laugh. “Come to think of it, he does remind me of someone I used to know, and this boy was quite popular with lords and ladies of all stripes.”

Frodo’s little eyes looked as if they were going to bug right out of his head. “Both? You can do both?”

“Quite right. His name was Fíli. A sweet, hardworking lad, with light-red hair just like that. Much bigger beard, though- oh!”

A brilliant red leaf fluttered against the window, followed by a torrent of crimson and gold. It made a sound like rain on the glass, and even through it all you could smell the crisp September air. In fact…

“What is it, Uncle Bilbo?”

“It’s nearly the twenty-second, my boy! We’d better get to work on the apple cake, hadn’t we?”

Frodo nodded, and (not without one last look at the window), headed towards the kitchen with his uncle.
