7 Hobbit Meals: 2018 LOTR Movie Marathon

For the past 8 years my husband and I have gathered together with friends in January to celebrate JRR Tolkien's birthday by watching all 12 hours of the extended edition Peter Jackson movies and sharing all 7 Hobbit meals: Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevenses, Luncheon, Tea, Dinner, and Supper.
