008 - Fog on the Barrow-Downs

Fool of a Took Podcast

Laura changes her mind about Tom Bombadil, the Hobbits kill time doing naked cartwheels and Pat chokes on a donut. This week we discuss Chapter 8, "Fog on the Barrow-Downs", from The Fellowship of the Ring.
Today's "Food For Thought": A Donut Diorama of the Downs
There is no recipe for this one. Combine donuts and various candies to represent the Barrow-Downs and our hobbit heroes as they need rescuing yet again. Here's what I used:
Chocolate glazed donuts for the hills
Green buttercream to glue everything together and a frosting tip to make grass
Cookies n cream bars for the stones
Gummy bears as hobbits
Pocky as the sword across their necks
Nerds as the treasure

Hi! Welcome to Fool of a Took Podcast, a show about friends reading the Lord of the Rings together. Here's the catch - 2 of the 4 hosts have never read the books before! Pat and Rj help their spouses Chris and Laura read the Lord of the Rings for the first time in a weekly podcast that discusses each chapter along the way.
With chapter snacks, fresh grog, and plenty of tongue wagging, you can be sure we’ll all be “cracked” by the end.
