So.....here it is. Isildur Barbour's Bane. It does not look like much in retrospect. A new menu to breath life back into things. With little trial and error, writing recipes on the fly, a dim but now deep hope of accurate replication, all is well. I shall resume writing about this and that soon me thinks. Once again and once upon a time, there was a restaurant and it yearned to find it's place. It was simple.
