The kindergarden petty cash I mentioned yesterday? Seems okay. *sighs in relief* Also? Went to the gym today, picked up my new reading glasses, which are fabulous, bought Carneval stuff for the kids and a dinosaur poster. And we just had Fondue/Raclette because the eldest asked me for it a few times.

Raclette iinvolves a little electric barbecue set that sits on the table and you have little pans which you fill with cheese (Edamer, Gouda, Cheddar, or Mozarella) and place under heated coils, so the cheese melts. And at the top you can grill stuff. You eat the cheese with boiled potatoes, tomatoes, boiled vegetables, pineapple pieces... whatever tickles your fancy. As tor the grill, we use it for small cubes of rumpsteak or chicken breast, mushrooms, courgettes, bacon, little sausages and whateve else we have. Liver is good.
We grill the meat and serve it with Fondue dips and French bread. Fondue dips are various dips home made dips based on mayonaise, fruit and spices. I usually make a banana-curry dip, a horseraddish-cranberry dip and garlic with cream. Veeeery yummie. Afterwards you are stuffed to the hilt! God, I'm so full.
And now it's "Smile Time."

Yeah, raclette rocks. I am more the fondue eater and hubby prefers the cheese, but I like grilled lamb with melted cheese. One of my favorite meals.
The daughters enjoyed their melted cheese. They are big fans.

Fondue's too... sticky. Raclette makes you sooooo full.

Sticky? Oh you mean cheese fondue? No. I'm talking pieces of meat cooked in boiling oil or broth. Served with dips. Not sticky at all.

God, that sounds so good...mmmmm. But, I have to say the best fondue I ever had has got to be chocolate fondue with cut up bananas, strawberries and orange slices. Brings back lovely childhood memories. :-)
