Snow & Fondue!

The mountains are covered with snow...and looking mighty beautiful! And the temperatures down here in the "valley" (I don't know that Tucson is technically a valley, but it makes sense that it should be) are in the 60-70s...it's beautiful!

Last Friday our friends David and Eileen (and Kaia!) invited us over for a fabulous evening of fondue...3 full courses of fondue that is! To say that it was amazing, may be a bit of an understatement...the evening was absolutely wonderful! David and Eileen said that they love fondue because it becomes much more than a dinner...its an event...there is much time spent chatting throughout the courses, chatting while the meat cooks, oohing and ahhing over the deliciousness, and of course lots more chatting as the goodness takes time to digest in our bellies...
The first course was a cheddar, garlic, and beer fondue with bread, apples, and carrots for dipping.
Second course was a green onion, garlic and beef broth with steak, chicken and shrimp to cook...and then dip in terriyaki, green goddess, or cocktail sauce
And the third course was a dark chocolate with fresh raspberry puree fondue with lots of fresh fruit for dipping. I kid you not, I was licking my fingers clean...yum!!

Thanks for a wonderful evening David, Eileen, and Kaia!
