Fondue Night Next Week!





We've got our annual fondue night next week on the 16th at my house.  I think we may have a full complement ... heard from everyone but Susan.  Hope she can make it!

We decided to stick with the Chinese Fondue and Chocolate Fondue.  (This should be the easiest no-prep-meeting .... great for the holidays!)  I'll make the same broth that we liked last year and I happen to have a container of some beautiful Valhrova Couverture chocolate that's perfect for the dessert fondue.  I have both pots, so okay there too.

Here's our list from last year, which seemed to work great:

baby pickled corn
broccoli
asparagus
alphalfa bean sprouts
medium shrimp, 3/4 lb.
scallops, 3/4 lb.
thinly sliced tuna, 3/4 lb.
thinly sliced beef, 3/4 lb.
dipping sauces

For the dessert fondue:

a couple of clementines
Some cookies (Janet .... would you ever?)
some pretzels
strawberries
1 or 2 bananas

For hors d'ouvres, I'll make some pate.  Could someone bring a nice piece of cheese?

Last year Susan made coquitos.  (If you're coming, would you ever think about mixing up another batch?)

I don't know where we stand on wine.  I know Monica delivered three of four bottles to Nancy and maybe they went to Janet's house last month.  Anyone know what the wine celler situation is?




Mitzy says, "Don't forget the holiday kitchen gift exchange .... something around $10.00, right?"

Let me know what you'll be bringing .... I'll update the list on the blog and look foward to seeing everyone on the 16th around 6!

Felice Navidad!

Martha
