FONDUE!!!!!
For Christmas, my mother-in-law gave me a fondue pot. It wasn't a random gift... I asked for a good electric one because the only one I had was a cheap $20 one that worked with sterno fuel. I needed a new one.
Why would someone need a fondue pot? Well, in Kodiak, we had fondue on a regular basis with our friends Dave and Joanne. They had the fancy electric fondue pot, so we figured we'd need one when we got here because they took theirs with them when they moved to Astoria.
Lo and behold, we didn't actually need the fancy fondue pot until this week. We just haven't gotten around to fondue-ing (Is that a word? Can you make a verb out of fondue?) for whatever reason, but Dave and Joanne are here this week, so it was definitely a necessity to bust it out.
Learning from our mistakes of actually trying to do an entire 3-course fondue dinner (cheese appetizer, broth main meal and chocolate dessert) and failing miserably (because the cheese - and everything we dip in it - is usually enough food for an army), we went for just cheese and chocolate tonight.
And it was fabulous. And maybe we'll have to pull out the fondue pot a little more often from now on. Yum.
(And that Chocolate Wine in the dessert picture.... it wasn't nearly as weird as we thought it would be. It sort of tasted like Bailey's. Who knew?)
