Join Kili and Fili to celebrate both our 50th episode and 2-year anniversary with some homemade Lembas bread! Recipe below.
Recipe:
Ingredients:
3 eggs
1 cup of honey
3 oz sliced almonds
1/4 cup melted butter
2 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
1 tablespoon grated orange peel or dried fruit (optional)
Instructions
1. Crack the eggs into the blender and mix on high for about 3 minutes with the honey, almonds, and any fruit. Turn off the blender to scrape the sides if the almonds stick to them.
2. Add 1 cup of the flour and blend well.
3. Scrape the batter into a bowl and stir in the remaining flour until it is an even consistency.
4. Drop onto a greased pan at low heat and cook like a pancake, or use a waffle or krumcake iron if you have one.

Tonight’s newsletter from Weta Workshop provides us with an update on the many items that were on display during Comic-Con 2014.

I’ve put together another video review for you all today, this time it’s of the second member of the Hot Dwarves duo, with Fili joining the previously released Kili in our collection. Fili, as has been the case with the other statues in this line, came out really well done with a superb overall paint/detail-work as well as a great likeness to Dean O’Gorman. Fili like most of the Dwarves is a limited edition piece with just 1000 pieces worldwide and comes in with a price tag of just $249. He is in-stock so you can get him right now if you’re looking to add another piece from The Hobbit Trilogy. Fili is the eighth Dwarf to be completed in this line of statues and ninth overall to be completed, which is not what I say in the video a couple of times. Nori the latest release is on his way and we should have a review of him up soon!

As you may recall, we teamed up with Gentle Giant to pick the next Dwarf who would get turned into a bust for their The Hobbit Trilogy line. The winner of the poll was one of the ‘Hot Dwarves’: Kili the Dwarf. Kili is the archer of the company, but this piece gives us him holding his Dwarven sword, which is a nice change for fans with more than one collectible of this character. Kili comes in with a price tag of $75 for non PGM members and only $67.50 for those of us who are PGM members. You can expect Kili to arrive into your collection around the fourth quarter of this year.
