Mmm Mmm Lembas!
The Recipe:
3 eggs
1 cup honey (preferably wild honey)
1 tablespoon grated orange peel or three kumquats or one large finger of a hand of Buddha.
2 teaspoons orange flower water (optional)
3 oz blanched almonds
1/4 cup melted butter
2-1/4 cups semolina flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Place eggs, honey, orange peel or other fruit, orange flower water, and almonds in blender. Blend on high for 3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the flour. Blend for 1 minute. Scrape into a bowl and add remaining flour and salt. Whisk or stir until well blended. Bake lembas on a pizzelle or krumkake iron 15 seconds each or until lightly brown. You may substitute a waffle iron but add a teaspoon of baking powder. The texture will not be quite accurate in a waffle iron.
What Tolkien says about Lembas
-They contain honey
-they are light-colored on the inside and light brown crust
-they are thin and regular-shaped. This implies they were made on some kind of griddle iron. The closest modern equivalent is a Krumkake iron. A pizzelle iron may also be used.
Some other things we can guess:
They contain the fruit and maybe the flower-water of the Mallorn tree. In this recipe oranges were used, although kumquats or a hand of Buddha fruit might be better.
They probably had some kind of finely ground light-colored nut in them. Almods were used in this case.
They contained some kind of nourishing flour. Semolina flour was chosen, which is a more primitive flour, and also more nourishing.
Galadriel probably used some kind of grinder to refine the ingredients, but a blender may be substituted.

Hey, Gala.

To all members of this board and of the Space Exploration board: I had hoped that everyone would have received this info via email, but I have doubts that y'all did so I am having to post it here. The Space Explorations board has moved and is just waiting for members to join (not to mention the skins to be added. ;-j). Anyway, the easiest way for me to tell you how to get there is through the Space Explorations website (which I'm still working on) and that web address is www.spaceexplorations.org/ When you get there just click on forums (you'll also see old forums, just ignore that) and that'll take you to the forum page. Once you get there choose register to register for your account (in case you didn't know what register was for. ;-j). Right now, your only option for board style is subsilver, but I'm working on getting other styles added. Basically, once those are added, you can choose whichever style you like. In other words, Gala might have the Star Trek like style while I might have the subsilver style. Hope that helps some. Once you've regiestered, be sure to read the rules and regulations as this is very important.

I think that about covers it. If any of you have questions, you know where to find me.

Oh, one more thing, I've noticed this on another site of mine, if you don't have a webpage or any kind of instant messenger account, don't put anything there. I think the ones who have done that on The American Wars board (which can be found by going to www.theamericanwars.org and clicking on message board), are probably not worth having around the board anyway.
