............ *** POP *** >>>> It's done!


After Gandalf discovers the Book of Mazarbul in Balin's Chamber and gives it to Gimli, it is carried out of Moria. At Parth Galen, Gimli falsely (somewhat) believes that the Fellowship will be destroyed and decides that the best chance for survival of some part of the already mostly destroyed book is to divide the remaining legible pages amongst the company. So few were the pieces that each member received less than 5 pages.

When Frodo decided to sit down and write out his adventures in the Red Book of Westmarch, he remembered something that Gimli had given him. He went to his chest and retrieved the pages. Sadly only one page survived the arduous journey that it had been through. Frodo translated and copied the text word for word into the Red Book. After doing so he finally realized what the words meant. As such, he followed the print word for word and afterwards was extremely satisfied!

And that's where the recipe for Matzo-Ball soup came from.



I wish that Mel Brooks would have done a version of LOTR.
