I'm dying here.

[cjsmith]

Of bliss; I'm dying of bliss. Fresh-baked rye bread and gruyere/emmenthaler Swiss fondue. I can now authoritatively state that dying of bliss is not a bad way to go.

(No, I didn't make fondue yet. This was the very last bit of the previous batch of fondue. I'm not at all fond of my cheese grater right now.)

I forgot to add: if you stir in a figure eight pattern, while adding the cheese, it mixes better.

I use a wooden spoon and a plain old revere ware pot. If I'm serving to guests I'll use the fondue pot, because then I want it to sit on the little stand so I can put a flame under it. Keeping it warm is good. A hot plate turned low would work if you don't have a little stand and a flame thingy.
