fondue à deux

How delicious can the end of a decade be? Oh yes....THAT delicious. As much as I love supporting the economy, I just can't justify paying nearly triple digits for a meal. Especially when the patrons are basically cooking the meal themselves. It's just not right. So I decided to bring the flavor of The Melting Pot to my living room for a little New Year's Eve dinner. Started with a basic fondue of Swiss, Gruyere, and white wine. Added a couple of my personal favorite prime time players: artichoke hearts and spinach. And I could have died right there a happy girl. But Sarah didn't want me to die, so on we ate...




There's the initial image of the meal layout.....the one that WON'T be shown to the health inspectors when I eventually try to open my tea lounge in Boise.



And the one sans cat hair.



Fondue is really funny....



Even Sarah could hardly contain her excitement and laughter...and she's a robot.

Oh, and that picture might be forcibly removed by no choice of mine in the near future...get a good look now.

So all in all, New Years Eve turned out to be better spent at home in the comfort of my house, with my favorite girl and my favorite animals, than at any loud bar or club. I've made my resolutions and intend to start on them immediately, and then slowly end them around March. It's just what I do. 2009 treated me very nicely, and I hope that 2010 is even better.

Oh, and just for kicks...



Sarah, do you have no manners?
