We have an AWESOME group of friends over here who we have been blessed to know and be apart of one anothers lives. I honestly don't think we'd be having the same experience living here, if it weren't for these amazing people.
It's great that we all have similar interests, get along really well, and like to have fun! Needless to say, we've gotten creative with our get together's since there is very little for us to do out in the city. Remember our Mardi Gras Mystery Party? So... when we realized one of our friends, The Railey's would be having their baby girl this weekend, and a few of us are heading back to the states for the summer, we wanted to have another get together incase it'd be our last. Our idea?!?! Let's do fondue!
A few of us had fondue pots that we had NEVER used and really wanted to take them out of there boxes and put them to use and Stephanie had a Melting Pot Cookbook so we had everything we needed to make it the perfect fondue night.
We decided to have 1 cheese pot and 2 chocolate pots.... it was DELICIOUS! We bought anything and everything you could possibly imagine to eat with the cheese and chocolate and we were all stuffed when the meal was over. We had bread, apples, celery, and carrots to dip with our cheese. We even made a special "Goddess" sauce to mix in with the cheese-- perfecto!
We couldn't decide between two chocolate flavors, so we fixed both! Flaming Chocolate Turtle -- that one required us to set the chocolate on fire. I videotaped the escapade, just in case it had a "fun" outcome. It didn't, which was a good thing! The other flavor was Chocolate Cream Pie-- I think I liked that one the best. We fixed PLATTERS of goodies to dip with the chocolate-- strawberries, pineapple, marshmallows, pretzels, bananas, and rice krispie treats! Again, DELICIOUS!
More importantly, we loved spending time with our friends and laughing all night. Us girls had a field day in the kitchen while preparing these recipes. It's nuts when you don't know what you're doing and worried everything has to be just right in order for the cheese and chocolate to melt appropriately. We shared LOTS of laughs in the kitchen questioning what we were actually doing. Not to mention, there wasn't an empty spot on any counter for us to do any work! In the end, we figured it all out and made some delicious fondue! Can't wait for another fondue night!
PS: Mom, aren't you proud? I used my cloth place mats and even pulled out my camel napkin rings to make the table "nice"!
