fondue said...

I hope by now, you did finally gave your fondue pot a try. And of course I hope you like it, although I'm quite positive that you did, lol! My friends fell in love with fondue when I first prepared one for them. They seem apprehensive at first, I guess because it's all new to them. But 10 minutes into it and they're all laughing and having fun already. Mind you that was a broth fondue, imagine what happen next when I brought out the chocolate dessert fondue. :)
