Fondue for Two More

Good morning! It's a gorgeous day in Boston! I woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, and for once, not starving for breakfast! Our special dinner last night held me over quite well. 

Last night, Mal and I madecheese fonduefor ourDC friendsto welcome them to the building. Yep, that's right-- they moved into our apartment building, 2 floors almost directly above our apartment. Josh and Danielle are into healthy, good food like us, so Mal and I will be eating lots of meals with them. (Danielle makes an amazing lasagna!) Now that they are all moved in (well, their new furniture arrives today), you will be hearing much more about the two of them! Welcome, Josh and Danielle! We're psyched you guys are here! :)

Our new neighbors preparing for fondue goodness...

Into our cheese fondue, we dipped French bread, broccoli, and kielbasa. Mal and I had wanted to make the cheese fondue from scratch, but we barely had any of the ingredients that the recipe called for and the 4 of us were starving. The store-bought version was so much easier! 

Josh and Danielle brought a "delightful" bottle ofPinot Gristo enjoy with dinner. The Trimbach Reserve was a full-bodied, rich, dry white wine, which perfectly complimented our fondue. Pinot Gris is myfavoritewine of all!

Our new neighbors also supplied dessert: seven-layer bars. By the time dinner was over, and I had drank 3 glasses of wine, I could only manage to eat half of one, which is a first for me. I'm never too tired to eat dessert! 

Lots of Saturday things on today's agenda. Hope everyone has a nice day!
