Fon-don'ts

For Deleea, lover of cheese. We toasted you and your family as we ate out French cheese! And for her grandma Roberta who calls Deleea just to check up on us! We are doing great Roberta and will be back sitting behind you in church before you know it!
I attempted fondue last night! I actually make fondue at home once every couple of months using cheese from Inola Harps. Lori at the market cut the cheese (hahaha) for us and he used milder cheeses because he knows we Americans are weak when it comes to cheese!
His recipe said to start with olive oil and a garlic clove (just rub it in the oil for flavor then toss aside), then add the main cheeses he chopped (some for flavor, one for elasticity) and to add some dry white wine. He asked what wines we normally drink and I said we don't really drink any wine and I thought Lori would pass out! Curtis bought some cheap cooking wine for us to use which was not good.  After thats all melted and mixed together (you have to  warm it slowly, ugh, and anyone who has ever eaten ny cooking knows I cook everything as fast as humanly possible) Lori gave us a creamy cheese inside a rind and said to only use the cream part. The rind appeared to have mold on it but I think it is supoosed to! I wasn't sure how to get it out of the rind.
I felt like the Pioneer woman taking pictures as I cooked! I of course used my best Julia Childs voice while I made the fondue. I tried to keep the stove on heat level 3 but I went up for 4 for a bit because I am not a patient or cautious person.
It tasted fancy and good but I put the fondue in little bowls for the kids and it turned solid in about 2 seconds! Curtis cut his up with a fork! We ate it with chicken, potatos, brocolli and bread. At $30 for the ingredients, I am too cheap for this to become a regular meal :) I guess I prefer them to laugh at my cooking rather than the usual complaining!
