Look out, Rob.

My coworker got me this book for Christmas.

(This is the same coworker who gave me the Chinese-English dictionary. If we all have superpowers, this woman's superpower is finding excellent gifts. (Mine is packing.))

Purely due to the content and placement of this one syllable you have been lj-friended. ;-)

Score!

Now we just need to make some fondue, to celebrate! ;-)

I'll have to do it at work. Rob will flee the area if I melt cheese at home.

I've done a coupla rounds of basic Swiss cheese fondue (simpler than the one in the book, for the record) at work and they've hoovered it all up. I think it's time to branch out. A havarti fondue and a hot oil pot? Sounds good to me!

[edit: Oh yeah, and last time I tried chocolate, too. That sucked -- bad consistency, mainly -- but it didn't seem to matter to them. They hoovered that up too. High-tech denizens will eat ANYthing.]

Oh, awesome.

I wouldn't have thought I'd need a book, because fondue is fundamentally so simple. But I find I'm glad to have it. I've never tried a hot oil "fondue" before, for example, and this will give me a starting point.
