Greetings, Lord Father! *bows respectfully* May I ask, in case no one has done so before: What was your favorite dish from your dinner with Galadriel? (And also, why was it the pickles raspberries?)
*I nod respectfully to you and carefully listen to your question. I wilt internally as I recall that failure of encounter. This moment haunts me with embarrassment even to this day...*😱
*outwardly all I can do is stare blank and cold as I compose myself* ...
Ahh yes that.😐*I attempt to keep my face flat and stoic as usual. On the same note I attempt to keep the embarrassment from my tone. All of it fails, though I seem to think it works*
-Flashback-
That..... 😑*I repeat sighing heavily before I rub my temples*
Well, we didn't have much at the time so we did our best with what we had. Raspberries were definitely the most edible thing on the table for sure.
A little known fact is that I often help with mundane tasks that my children are short handed on. This meal in particular was one that I helped prepare. She was my visitor so I saw it as my responsibility to help make it. *I look the other direction again embarrassed by my own dinner performance*
While yes we don't have the resources for high scale dining, typically once we are accustomed to an area we can work together to make things for a cozier simple palette. My children and I like foods that feel comfortable from things we forage for. Though they prefer more of a carnivorous sort of diet.
I personally enjoy the comfort of bread with honey, a soup to dip my unsweetened bread in, and raspberries (or any type of fruit to balance the savory flavors). All of this was on the table that day.
I hope this answers your inquiry. *I nod respectfully back to you* Best wishes to you on this day. Please enjoy your visit in Mordor.
