Fondue for You!

Ya know what's hard? Getting flattering pictures of people at a party where all you do is eat. Normally, you kind of wait for the eating to be over, and then you take the pretty pictures. But at a fondue party, all there is is eating! So we do what we can. (I think the ones I picked look pretty good!)
We all brought stuff to dip in cheese, broth and chocolate (not all at the same time) and fondued all night! Seriously, it took us maybe 3 hours to finish eating. First we melted some cheese and dipped bread and apples in it. YUM!



The bread was all stuff from the HEB bakery and it was delicious! Thanks Dani!

Now, getting a flattering picture of Joel is a whole different story, because he just won't allow it. I think most of the pictures I have of him look something like this:




But look!

Got a good one! I'm a professional. Don't try this at home.

We also copied the Melting Pot and boiled beef, chicken and some vegetables in seasoned broth. We had to do this one on the stove. The pot didn't get the broth hot enough.



This was Michael's favorite part.

My favorite part was the chocolate! We dipped strawberries, marshmallows, pretzels and something else that I don't remember...



Joel looks pretty excited about that marshmallow.

And there is no telling what Meagan had just said here:


 She was so silly that night! Hudson was hanging with the grands and she was able to just sit and hang out for what must have been the first time in a while! I think she needed to do a little decompressing and there was much laughter! (But we did miss Hudson, though!)

And then the boys fell into a fondue induced coma.


Fondue is fun! You should do it! (But invite me when you do! We'll hang!)

  1. The one I went to earlier this month (for bookclub) had special fondue pots that got the broth hot enough. And she had, like, sets of metal skewers with different color handles so that you could tell which one was yours after it'd been sitting in the broth cooking. She was pretty serious about fondue, apparently.
