We’re just getting things sorted out for Bilbo & Frodo birthday this year. The foods have all been chosen from recipes found in the Lord of the Rings Online game.
Throughout the day we take turns reading favorite passages from the book’s.

No Dice
Just recently, Snickers had a giveaway for a new flavor, “Peanut Brownie.”
Like many, I had the giveaway page bookmarked and was ready the day of the offer. Alas, no dice, I was unable to secure a box of this treasure.
They were only giving away 1000 boxes, so I knew my chances were slim.
I had 3 internet browsers open to the page and hit the refresh button on each and had my auto-fill ready, but I could not stand against the tide, it seems.
I can remember reading on a blog that a previous limited edition Snickers pecan bar had gone for a high price on eBay.
So I went to check if this one was being listed, and oh boy, what a loss.
Maybe I’ll have better luck next time.
Swagbucks: DoorDash Offer
I just did a Swagbucks offer for DoorDash while at work.
I ordered a large strawberry milkshake with extra whipped cream for around 10 bucks, with the fees.
I received 2,000 SB for the purchase. It even arrived 20 minutes earlier than the app suggested it would.
With this latest offer and various other ones, I am now up to 22,500 SB in my balance.
That is $225 in potential gift cards. Perhaps more if I get them on a discount.

Various meals
I try to photograph my meals, though I don’t always feel like waxing poetically about the dish.

Chestnut humus
Gallery post. This was lunch, I think.
Makgeolli picture gallery
A step-by-step photo gallery of the process for making Makgeolli at home.
The rice is cooked and then laid out to dry until it becomes crispy. Afterwards, we add nuruk to the vessel and some liquid. The rice is torn up and added to the vessel, and then mixed by hand (my mother used gloves).
The mash is eventually left to sit, covered, in a cool spot in the home.
It’s a bit more involved than that, but I don’t recall everything that occurred back then.
Birthday dinner pictures

It was a large seafood platter with all sorts of shellfish, seaweed, and noodles.
