Hi Boop!
Thanks for the pudding! It really reminds me of grandma's own, and that says a lot!
Today I visited Sundergrót. The dwarves made so many doors inside that I couldn't find the pantry!
:O
I hoped to find some long aged beer somewhere, but the only thing i found was goblins dropping their firebombs BEFORE they ran over to me. That means my nose is full of roasted goblin smell, and it's having a negative effect on my hunger!
But do you know if beer tastes better if it is old? Or was that something else? I saw a third bridge inside Sundergrót that I couldn't reach. I bet the dwarves must have built their pantry there! But it could also be behind some of the locked doors.
Why can't I pick dwarf-locks?
I hope your day is nice!
Best regards
Paana.
on the back of the letter is a hand drawn map of Sundergrót, with a lot of "X" marks covered by blueberry stains. the failure to find a dwarf pantry inside the abandoned building seems to have been going on for a while

With 5 Farfi made blackberry ales, 3 Hornblower's pies
and 2 of Beorn's honey-cakes attached
Hey Paana!
I'm glad you enjoyed the pudding! I can always make more of any dish you enjoy particularly, so do tell me if you find something especially tasty!
Looks like I have exactly what you need! Some highly regarded dwarf made ale, the Farfi, it was aged for quite some time in my house and should probably be able to give you an answer on whether it gets better with age or not, and since it's made by dwarves you could always say it comes from the Sundergrót pantry
:D
But do make sure you don't drink them all at once, they are very strong! I added some pies and honey-cakes to eat with it so you don't get sick drinking.
That map does look quite complicated, why do the dwarves always make their homes so maze like?
Be careful out there, I don't want you to die until I've made you taste every food that exists! (Or at least the food I can actually make)
Boops,
from Boop

what arrives is an envelope with ale and pie stains combined with honey smelling fingerprints. and the address is slightly wrong.
she seems to have forgotten to put the letter inside the envelope. apparently this hobbit can't drink a little at a time.... and still cannot eat like a normal hobbit either. normal hobbits don't spill that much....
at least she sent something back.... wait, is that a positive thing or not? may Boop have fun with his stain filled envelope
:P
29. From Boop - "Less Farfi for a Better Mind"
With superior coney stew, superior fried mushrooms,
a cup of black tea, a superior Hornblower's pie
and a Farfi made blackberry ale attached
I guess I should not send you lots of alcohol all at once anymore, it may be dangerous...
So back to some more regular dishes and only ONE Farfi this time. What about some nice coney stew and fried mushrooms accompanied by a single Farfi, one cup of the best tea of the Shire and a classic pie?
And I think you forgot to put a letter in the last envelope, I would love to read what was on that letter, if it is not already lost or forgotten!
Happy boops,
Boop

Hi Boop! Thank you for the wonderful dishes last time. I remember that they tasted wonderful as usal, but I can't remember what it was I ate. That is highly unusal, and I'm planning to ask the elves by pestering them until I get an answer or they shut me up with food. They are starting to be really fast with the food too.
a drool with a hint of Boop's fried mushrooms stains the page
I think it's best not to use any alcohol for a while.... I found myself in Forochel without any pants.... I thought my legs would freeze off. Apparently my hobbit feet were ok, only cold.... Or they could have been numb too.... Unsure.
I had to run around all over Forochel before i found a substitute for my pants. Would you have something warm to send me for tomorrow?
the rest of the page has a clear impression of a hobbit face on it. apparently she fell asleep while writing the letter, and forgot to finish it too.... at least she sent it. it must be hard going on pant hunts in Forochel....
