Chilly Spring Fondue Party



When Auden moved into her somewhat shabby (now utterly chic : ) ) Upper West Side apartment, little did she know a surprise was waiting for her.  While she was sweeping, scrubbing, and generally rummaging around her new abode, she discovered an unopened fondue set underneath the kitchen sink. "Wow," she thought happily to herself, "this is wonderful. Someday I will make my very own fondue and share it with friends." The seed had been planted.  Slowly but surely, the stars aligned and the Big Night was planned. With the support of little Pipster (Pippa Soo), Faithful Lover (Ryan), and of course, her right hand woman, magic happened.


Ingredients for the Perfect Night of Fondue-ing
  1. Chilly Night- preferably winter or late fall, but early spring will work. 
  2. Small Abode- we're aiming for comfy. 
  3. Twinkle, or candle light- a warm storybook sort of air.
  4. Pots, plates, bowls, and mugs- to deal out the goods
  5. Two fondue Pots with multiple skewers- we used a Crock Pot for the chocolate
  6. Our recipe for Chocolate Fondue- seductive, warm, and smooth (1 pound semi sweet chocolate, and 1 pint heavy cream)
  7. Our Cheese Fondue- bold, mellow and luscious (cheeeze)
  8. Scrumptious Goodies, Sweet And Savory- granny smiths, galas, mallows, graham crackers, bananas, baguette, sourdough, sausage, grapes, cookies, gummy bears (anything you can think of that meshes with cheese and chocolate). 
  9. Classy Booze
  10. The pulpit... invite over some good friends for some good conversation (and be sure to invite the Amelie Soundtrack.)
