Fondue

Taking the tradition from friends, we hosted our first fondue party last Friday. We invited the Minors, who have met us in Disneyland a couple of times, and they were lots of fun.

Our food included a cheese fondue (Butterkase, Fontina and a little Parmesan, vegetable broth, spinach and artichoke hearts, and a dash of Tabasco) served with bread and chips, entrees cooked in a vegetable broth (chicken, shrimp, steak, and potatoes), a tempura batter (for making corndogs, zucchini, and onion rings) in canola oil. For dessert: chocolate fondue and warmed carmel sauce for the strawberries, apples, and marshmallows.

We learned a few things, like pre-boil the potatoes so they cook faster in the broth. We need to buy another fondue pot (electric) but overall, we think the night was a success.
