Fourth Friday Fondue Fun with Friends

Tonight, we had our good friends Ryan and Abby over for fondue (sidenote: we really missed you, Giambellucas). It was delicious. Here's a brief run down of the menu...
-Cheddar cheese fondue with apples, carrots, and bread to dip
-Vegetable stock based fondue which we used to cook our raw steak, chicken & shrimp (complete with dipping sauces: Green Goddess (Melting Pot recipe), Teriyaki sauce, & Cocktail Sauce
-Dark Chocolate, Raspberry fondue with strawberries, bananas and pears for dipping

The best part was how much time we spent chatting as we ate a fun and leisurely dinner. Afterwards we chatted more and played a few rounds of "No Thanks." Thanks to Ryan for the words of wisdom which helped me to win my first round ever. :) And, Abby, very impressive...a prego lady (3rd trimester) (who wakes up around 4-5 am) and was here until midnight. (sidenote #2: Jessie, she's really awesome - not weird at all!)

Here's a few pics. Highly recommend this meal as a great way to connect with your spouse and/or friends. Email me, and I can send you more specific fondue-makin' directions. :)
