Gandalf the Grey, an immortal being, is a wizard, one of the five Istari (i.e. “wise” in Kvenian) and a maiar. Before coming to Middle-earth (T.A. 1000) like any other maiar he was subject to the Volar. He can appear both in visible and invisible form.

Gandalf is also known as Mithrandir (i.e. “grey wanderer” in Sindarin) and Olyrin, a name given to him in Valinor. In “The Silmarillion” wisest of the Maiar was Olyrin who dwelt in Lyrien. His ways took him often to the house of Nienna, and of her he learned pity and compassion. This gives grounds to believe that Gandalf and Olyrin was one and the same person. In Middle-earth the wizard sympathized with the weak and those who heard his prayers were awakened from despair and ceased thinking about Evil. In “The Silmarillion” very little is said about the wizard but “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” definitely shed more light on his personality.

Gandalf dwells in different parts of Middle-earth. And many are his names in many countries. The elves call him Mithrandir, the dwarves – Tharkun, the haradrims – Incanus. It is hobbits and the Rangers of the North who called him Gandalf. He has a number of nicknames: Gandalf Greyhame, StormCrow, the White Rider, the Grey Wanderer and the Grey Fool. Most likely that by the latter he was “christened” by his ill-wishers as Gandalf is wisdom itself. Like Frodo, he is Tolkien’s favourite personage.

Gandalf’s outfit looks like a stereotypical wizard. Gandalf would be an interesting and unique costume for anyone this Halloween season.

Your children can probably imagine what actual goblin feet would taste like. (Dirty socks stuffed with cheese? Moldy tapioca pudding?) Luckily, these cookies are infinitely more tasty.

Ingredients

• Half package (7 ounces) green meltable candy wafers
• peanut butter cookies, such as Nutter Butter brand

• cashew halves

Instructions

1. Follow the instructions on the candy wafer package to melt the wafers in a wide bowl. For each goblin foot, hold the edge of a cookie and dip it in the melted candy.
2. Place the cookie on a sheet of waxed paper and use a spoon to smooth the candy over the spot your fingers covered.
3. Place three cashew halves on the cookie for claws. (The candy may need to cool a minute or two for it to be stiff enough to hold the nuts in place.) Let the cookies set at room temperature.

This is something the whole family can enjoy. This recipe comes from familyfun.com. These are some fun Monster Feet props to go with the cookies and a scary Halloween costume. These feet are sure to make this Halloween one to remenber!!  Happy baking/cooking and Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Street Fighter commonly abbreviated as SF, is a series of fighting games developed in Japan in which the players pit the video games’ competitive fighters from around the world, each with his or her own unique fighting style, against one another.

Street fighter was also turned into a movie later and was a popular favorite amongst kids and adults. Capcom released a couple different sequels to the game. There are about 6 or 7 main characters. Ryu and Ken are the main characters. They are basically the same except Ken has long blonde hair and Ryu has short brunette hair. They both had the same ninja skills.
