It is time for another of our
Cookbook Club dinners.
We were trying to
come up
with an idea for March
and I saw
Lord of the Rings
Inspired Shirecuterie Board
on Pinterest one day.
Click on the above link
to see the great board
she created. Her husband
built the board for her.
I contacted my niece who
is also a fan of fantasy
and she told me she could
3 D print the door.
She printed it and then
painted it. It turned
out so cool (she even
made an extra for me!)
We told everyone in the
group that we wanted to
create boards based on
books or movies,
and that Shaunna
and I would be doing
a board together.
We started with her
door in the center
of one of my trays.
For our Lord of the Rings/
Hobbit Board
we had to have
Hobbit Feet Cookies made
out of shortbread and topped
with shaved chocolate.
My other "must have" was
Lembas Bread, which I
made from the other half
of the shortbread dough and
wrapped it in banana leaves,
which you can buy online.
It is graced with
Arowen's Evenstar.
I made Bed Rolls with
roast beef, cream cheese
and a pickle wrapped
inside for nice
Hobbitses!
Hobbits also love potatoes
and sausages, so Shaunna
made these fun skewers.
Gollum even gets a treat
our board. These went
really quickly! Next time
I think I will have to have
more fish!
Frodo and Gandalf are
just ready to leave the
Shire on their adventure,
after Gandalf marked
Frodo's door.
There is never enough
meats and cheeses.
Hobbits are always hungry.
Shaunna also made some
glazed root veggies from
Frodo's garden, while
Saruman and a troll
sneak through.
(Shaunna has a really
cool chess set with these
figures.)
Cheese curds fill
radicchio cups.
Notice how the Hobbit
feet circle the board.
I used my biggest tin
tray for this.
The board was a huge hit!
My DIL hosted and it
was a serve yourself
buffet. These plates and
bowls, cups and flatware
remind me of the dwarves
who love gold and dug
too deep into the Moria.
The gold veining is perfect.
My DIL had just picked
up this fairy house
which looks like a
Hobbit house at
Dollar Tree.
I need one of these.
My daughter's niece
chose Ratatouille.
We thought hers was so
adorable with the cutouts
colored by her 5 year old,
and the tiny mice.
She served ratatouille
over angel hair pasta
and cheese stuffed
mushrooms from the
movie.
She didn't have black
sesame seeds, so she
hand picked them out
of her Everything Bagel
seasoning mix! Haha
She had honey to drizzle
on the top of the mice.
Another of my nieces
chose the theme of
Grease.
She had hamburgers,
fries and shakes. She
lives a little farther
so she brought the
shakes in an
insulated drink container.
My DIL did a dessert
board based on
Interstellar.
Notice the moon
pineapple. She
also had a bowl of
blue popcorn.
The dip was the dust bowl
from Interstellar.
I love how everything else
was dark and delicious.
Everyone was so creative
and we had such a
great time. We had
way too much food -
we should have invited
the men this time.
We all look forward
to trying new food
and being creative
with food in our club.
I think this was my
favorite dinner,
and definitely our
most fun.
Thanks for visiting.
I will be posting with
