Hobbits?

I wonder if J.R.R. Tolkien's hobbits weren't based in part on the people of Brazil. After and enormous breakfast, my family sent me away with a lunch large enough to feed a small orphanage - two sandwiches, four pieces of chicken pie, two apples, a bowl of cashews and Brazil nuts, and more. I had first lunch around 1:00, second lunch around 3:00 and dinner when I arrived home at 6:00. This was followed by second dinner at 9:00. 

After first dinner, I sat on the couch and fell into a food induced stupor. I was roused some time later to move upstairs where a huge crew had gathered to eat homemade pizza from the wood-fired oven. Just as it seemed things were drawing tow close, the dessert pizza came out of the oven and ice cream appeared from somewhere. 

And now, I am inching my way toward dreamland. My family longs for the chance to wake up late tomorrow, and I do not intend to disappoint them. I will have more tomorrow after experiencing a Brazilian barbecue. I'm told it is like an American barbecue only inasmuch as there will be meat and beer. These alone are sufficiently promising of a good time. Until then...
