025 - Big, Bad, Blonde Killing Machines...aka "The Riders of Rohan"

This week we discuss book 3, chapter 2, "The Riders of Rohan", from The Two Towers.

Today's "Food For Thought": The Blondies of Rohan

Listen, I wasn't feeling particularly inspired this week, OK? The riders are blond... right...?

Honestly, just follow this recipe as written, it is perfect. https://smittenkitchen.com/2006/11/blondies/

For the mix-ins, I used toasted pecans, chopped up soft caramels, white chocolate chips, semisweet chocolate chips, and dark chocolate chips. DECADENT!

Oh, also, ignore the 10 minute cooling in the pan comment. They are still MOLTEN at this point and if you attempt to move them you will create a giant mess. I am still finding bits of these things under coffee makers and in corners. They will be just fine if you let them cool in the pan and then flip them out onto a cutting board.

Welcome to the Fool of a Took Podcast — the show where deep lore meets even deeper nonsense! Here's the catch - 2 of the 4 hosts have never read the books before! Join Chris, RJ, Pat and Laura as they dive headfirst into the world of Tolkien.

With chapter snacks, fresh grog, and plenty of tongue wagging, Fool of a Took Podcast is like sitting in a pub in Bree, if everyone in the pub had ADHD and a microphone.
