Last night Joe and I got to enjoy the company of our friends, Lydia and Jon, over a nice hot steaming bowl of fondue! It was a great time had by all!
When thinking of fondue, my mind automatically goes to some bubbling pot of melted cheese. However there are A LOT of variations on a theme out there! Last night we partook in a dinner fondue and a dessert fondue. Our dinner fondue consisted of a doctored up beef broth that we simmered beef, chicken and veggies in for a fun and actually healthy meal. The one thing about fondue is that you can't be in a hurry for your dinner. Each skewer usually takes about 3 minutes to cook. So it's a great meal to catch up with friends and try not to injure yourself too badly with the pointy stick (we had one casualty last night!).
For dessert, we went all out - Chocolate Peanut Butter Fondue! We had apples, oranges, strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and angle food cake for our dipping fare. I must say I enjoyed the bananas best, followed by a skewer of cake and strawberries! Yum!!
We really did have a fun time, and I just may have to get me a fondue pot!
Wanna try! I'm ready with skewer in hand! (figuratively, of course!)

We had so much fun last night!! I loved eating outside with you guys. And the fondue was pretty great, too! We have to do it again soon. Jon wants to try the oil....
So glad! And yeah, might as well try the oil and see which we prefer so we'll be all the more full the next next time!
love fondue, i want to come next time you are boiling broth and cooking with pointy sticks.
i also have to say that you two girls with DP photos are too funny.
Congrats on fondue success! It's a great way to prolong a good meal with friends.
