Fondue / Bush's Last Day Countdown



Bravo to Emilie for her inspired idea and brilliant execution of a Bush's Last Day Eve celebration involving liquid cheese and liquid chocolate.

We loosely followed Martha's cheese fondue recipe, leaving out the gruyere and adding in some italian truffled cheese. We dipped asparagus, green peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes. And bread, of course! The second course of super simple chocolate chips, melty and delicious, was served with rice krispie treats, Pepperidge Farm cappucino pirouettes, Candy Cane Jo Jo's, and some sort of white chocolate chip cookie also from Trader Joe's. All very delicious, but I was most delighted to discover the simple yumminess of sourdough baguette dipped in melted chocolate. Divine!

Cheers to the end of eight long years!
