I realize this is a little unusual for a Butchers's blog post, because it's only partly about food, and the food pictures aren't all that great. A week ago I hosted a fondue party for some friends from my "long-ago" Milkweed days, and thought some of you might appreciate seeing the photos.

It was my first time having fondue, and I have to recommend it for any of you who've never tried it. There was a lot of prep-work, but all that prep makes the dining part of the meal go quickly. We prepared a coq au vin broth for vegetables, a traditional cheese fondue, oil for meats, and chocolate for the final dessert round.

And here's the happy crew, after we've decimated most of the food. Of the people here, my ex-Milkweed colleagues are Kate, Jen, and Ethan.

looks great Ben! Remind me to tell you about my fondue story sometime : )
ReplyDeleteI like how Kate is either demonstrating how you fondue...or has an extra long index finger.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious. I'm a little disappointed you didn't do a "trick" plate of fondue items, like maybe bologna squares, sliced hot dogs, lemon slices, and maybe some lettuce. Awkward moments are always a good way to start a party.
