Aww... how very very Sam. I loved the line about "especially when that soul is heavy as Mr Frodo's" -- a very thoughtful and touching line amidst the gentle frustration I picture him toiling with. The syntax was very true to Sam, as well.

And I'm glad he found those onions! What a scrumptious ending : )

When you think of hobbits and food, you always think of Sam, and this didn't let us down - a nice little 'peep' into Sam's musings as he loyally cares for his Mr Frodo.

This bit was brilliant: "specially when that soul was as heavy as Mr. Frodo’s." How like Sam to think of food and the weight of the world in one mental meander. And "put his foot on it" ... hee. Nice Sam moment.

I could almost hear Sam as I read this delightful drabble. You have captured really well his speech and train of thought. The simple comforts that he yearns for speak of the Shire and remind us of the way of life they're trying to save and preserve for future generations. It was a beautiful read.

That was wonderful, darling! And a very hobbity sort of thought, that there is more than simple sustenance for the body to be found in a decent meal, but a small comfort to the soul as well Smile smiley face

And thanks for sending him a welcome addition in his loving task! Very Happy smiley face

"hardly enough to keep body and soul together"

And this is a very Samwiseish way of saying barely enough to stay alive. Cool smiley face

So cool. I really adore Sam when he's being nurturing and this was great Nancy. Too bad it wasn't a hundred and five words, you could have been predictable and thrown in...and a po tay to. Just perfect with the 100 you put in though.
