I figured if I can't do an easy simple healthy recipe, then forget all this low sodium low fat no white flour nonsense and I'm going to have FONDUUUUUUUE! My doctor won't have a chance to kill me; I'll kill me first! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahaha... ha... *hic*

..where was I? Oh yeah. Since I had to go to the grocery store anyway, I got eggs and flour too.

FONDUE.

and you will die happy. :)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

I sure will. Man that stuff is good.

The great thing about fondue is that there is no secret trick. Pick a wine you like, and that'll help. Add more nutmeg than you think makes sense, and that'll help. But seriously, there's just no going wrong with enough Emmenthaler and Gruyere.

Hey, ya gotta die of something! ;-)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

It might as well be something fun!

when ian's mom was here i got her recipe for fondue. i've always liked fondue, but MAN is hers better than any i've had. i think it is because she's a real live *Actual* Swiss Mom. one day i'll get a fondue pot and make it. :D

enjoy!!!

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Yeah, mine comes from a Swiss guy too. I adore it. It's awesome.

Jackie-cat sat around on the kitchen floor while it was heating, so I let a little trail of it drop to the linoleum. When she got close she must have smelled the wine, or the garlic, or something. She was so disappointed! She kept looking for the source of the cheese and was repeatedly stymied by the small blob of Confusing. Poor cat!

[recordersmith.livejournal.com]

Poor kitty. I do something like that to Tremelo periodically--when I use hand lotion. She comes up to me for scritches, smells the lotion and gives me a dirty look, goes and sulks for 5 min, repeat.....

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

*snicker* Yeah, absolutely none of mine like the smell of Sarna (anti-itch goo). They back away as if they'd just been swatted on the nose.

[eeyore-grrl.livejournal.com]

Maxling used to do that with soy milk. It was going in my tea so *clearly* it was milk.. but it wasn't! he was unimpressed.

*I* have a fondue pot. Just sayin'.
La la la la...

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Me too. Fondue party at eeyore_grrl's place! WOOHO...

...er, I mean, La la la la... :-)

[eeyore-grrl.livejournal.com]

we have two chairs, of differing height... but i'm happy to bring the recipe elsewhere! :)

[tiger-spot.livejournal.com]

I have two fondue pots. You know, if you wanted to practice.

(Two fondue pots and no ulterior motives at all... nope, nuh-uh.)

*Giggle*

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Boy do I like fondue. I like it way more than is healthy. :-) :-)

sounds good, CJ !

[justetthon.livejournal.com]

we just had a yummy dinner - leg of lamb, some ginger carrots w/little almonds and lemon peel from Trader Joe's, and fresh asparagus. Doesn't get much better for that. On tap for later, a pomegrante martini, complete with martini glasses! woo hoo! My class ended today, have just one more before being DONE with this program. Yahoo!

Re: sounds good, CJ !

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Oh my, that sounds scrumptious!

Just one more class? So you'll be done by summer? Go you!

[klwalton.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahaha... ha... *hic*

Um, CJ, hon? The wine goes in the *fondue*.

FONDUE!!!!!!! (Said the woman who has been doing low-fat, high fiber, *lean* protein for about four weeks now. Cheese? Did someone say cheeeeeeeeeese!!!! Ahem.)

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Oh, that can't be the way it goes! What a waste of good wine! *hic*

I adore cheese. I have to tone it down, I know, and not go crazy with fondue all the time, but I hope I never have to live completely without fondue either.

[hnybny.livejournal.com]

I'm a believer in everything in moderation. As long as you're not fonduing on a regular basis, it shouldn't kill you. Well, unless you set your house ablaze while doing it.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

That's my best hope at this point. Today's menu has been: one bowl of oatmeal (with cinnamon), one cheese stick, and nearly 3/4 pounds of cheese fondue with half a baguette. I better not eat anything fatty for about three days.

[edited to remove sentence that would probably make half my friendslist go postal. sorry 'bout that.]

[layer.livejournal.com]

my mom cleaned out her garage this weekend and found in one of the boxes the fondue set they got as a wedding present back in 1964. i'm like "that is so mine..."

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Oh perfect! Was she looking to let go of it right away?

[layer.livejournal.com]

nope. i'm going to have to fight her for it. :)

[ladyqkat.livejournal.com]

Darn. I think we got rid of all our fondue pots years ago. When we used to do fondue 'parties' I think we had about eight pots going - two oil, one stock, three cheese and two chocolate.

One thing I've been doing lately (since it is cheap, easy and somewhat filling) is to take some Winco Cannonball bread loaves, cut them into about 3/4" slices, drizzle with some olive oil, put them on one of my Pampered Chef pieces (bar pan, cookie stone or pizza stone), toast them in a 400° ovenfor about seven minutes, turn them over, drizzle with some more olive oil, place a slice of cheese on it, pop it back into the oven for about seven minutes or until the cheese has melted somewhat.

Yummy.

If you want, I'll post my recipe for Maple Glazed Grilled Salmon.

If you want to try to grab invite hitchhiker for dinner while he's here, maybe fondue would be a good option. :)

[rampling.livejournal.com]

*envy*

[mactavish.livejournal.com]

I wish you could come up! (Or make private fondue down there? ;) )

[rampling.livejournal.com]

Totally. *sigh*

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Is there a time you could come up north?

[rampling.livejournal.com]

Doubtful -- lack of job means lack of $$ and need to devote much time to jobhunting.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Well, dang. *sigh*

[hitchhiker.livejournal.com]

yay for fondue (:

[deege.livejournal.com]

Many cheers for FONDUE!

Plus, it has calcium. And you need calcium. You don't want to get osteoporosis, you know.

[cjsmith.livejournal.com]

Good point! As a smallish pale woman, I'm at higher risk for that. I must eat cheese! It's required!
