Superbowl Sunday

While we were in CA, our goodbye dinner with our friends Ben and Debbie was Fondue. We LOVED the social aspect of a slow paced meal, so we decided we would have a fondue night of our very own. At first it was just going to be a random night, but as weekends kept filling up with plans, we ended up having to combine our fondue party with the superbowl party. We were worried about how this would all play out with the boys and the game...but it went wonderfully.

The table all set up and ready for feeding.

I have everything ready and then once people got there we were able to enjoy :o) We started with cheese fondue. I was originally going to make it from scratch but could not find all the types of cheese i needed, so we found a pre-made fondue. it was AMAZING. (Kroger in the specialty cheese area, YUMMY) We ate that first with french bread, mushrooms, cauliflower, and broccoli. We probably could have stopped there, but would have wasted a lot of food

Everyone sitting enjoying their meals.

Next was the main course which was either teriyaki chicken cooked in chicken broth or seasoned beek cooked in beef broth. We also had carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, and potatoes to cook in the provided broths. So good I wish I was currently reliving the moments of pure indulgence....

Although bellies were very full, we still had room for desert. Chocolate!!! We had our chocolate fountain and provided marshmallows, rice crispy treats, bananas, strawberries, and pretzels for dipping.

The husbands were so wonderful and really only watched the game between courses. They were too into the food to stop. They were even willing to sacrifice lounging and watching the game so they could play a nice game of dominoes. It was just a wonderful evening with wonderful friends. I would recommend fondue nights to anyone just wanting time to chat with friends and enjoy each others company.

Love you Mooney and Cease families.
