Thanks so much for reading, Himring. Earendil is yet another case where I learned to like a character not from reading the Silm, but only after doing detailed research on him. Fascinating that both Tuor and Earendil are drawn to the sea, but we find them living in a landlocked secret city. Fives me a bit of perspective on Earndil spending so much time away from his wife and children.

I enjoyed this little family moment. That was an interesting thing about cinnamon, I hope Eärendil (and Tuor, too) had the chance to smell them during their travels, before each headed West.

By the self-satisfied way she lifted her chin one might have thought she had prepared the meal herself, instead of only supervising the head cook and her two apprentices while she fiddled with the fanciful presentation of jewel-toned jellies and marmalades.

That part made me smile :D

Thanks for reading!!

I could not resist wondering how Tuor might have viewed Idril playing in the kitchen or if her desire to putter around in the kitchen would have been connected to her intimacy to Tuor who knew how real people, outside of Turgon's court, lived.

I think that Earendil for certain would have encourtered cinnamon on M-e side of the sundering seas. But no reason why both of them would not have encountered it in Aman, which would have the climate for it.
