Chapter Three: Sam's Lembas
One day, seeing that Sam might be the only fully qualified cook as we so seen in the book and movies, he attempted to make the hardest thing yet: Lembas. Now I'm sure there are many other qualified cooks, like some of the elves, and maybe that random person in Gondor, but that's beside the point.
So off our good Sam went, clueless to as what he was making, seeing that the fair Lady Galadriel had never given him the recipe. Well, actually, Sam never asked, but, once again, that's beside the point.
First, Sam tried to recall the taste of Lembas. Obviously, the first thingy was 'sweet', but with a natural taste. He decided on honey. The rest was quite simple. It was bread, (or something in that category) so obviously it called for flour and all that jazz.
So off Samwise went, stirring, stirring, and baking, and…
"Well, I reckon it might be as good as the real thing!" Sam laughed, breaking off a piece. The first batch was done, and the second was in the oven. "Now if I only had some of those leaves they were wrapped in…" He sighed as he popped the piece into his mouth.
He chewed slowly, trying to see if he got it right. It tasted something like Lembas, but in reality, Sam knew it just wasn't the real thing. No, the Lembas the fair Lady Galadriel had presented to them all the way back in Lothlórien (Or Laurelindórenan or Lórien for even shorter, but once again, that's beside the point.) had some sort of elfish ingredient. He was so sure of that now.
But being the master chef in the cook he was, he decided that he shall find thy recipe!!! So off Samwise went, actually traveling to Lothlórien had come across his mind before he realized that there was no way he was actually going to attempt that.
Saddened and dejected, Samwise returned to the kitchen… That was now on fire.
You see, Sam had forgotten about the second batch, and since he did grease the pans a bit heavier than usual, the pans kind of were set ablaze. And yes, that can happen, because it seemingly did to me with fish thingies and a toaster oven, except it was only ablaze for a second of course, no major damage.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! MY OVEN!!!!!" Sam whimpered as he quickly poured water on his stove. "I just hope Rosie doesn't find out about this!"
"Find out about what, Samwise Gamgee?"
