Funny you should mention that, Randi. Since I've been going through Germany/Switzerland withdrawals with you guys meeting over there, and seeing as how we have a motorhome rally coming up in October in the Amana Colonies in Iowa, I went out and bought a Swiss Cheese Fondue pot and burner for the occassion.

OK, a little background. The Amana Colonies is a group of small villages in Iowa with a German Heritage. See Amana Colonies for more info.

The motorhome rally is when a bunch of people with the same type of motorhome as we have get together to meet and greet each other and to talk motorhomes and learn what we can about them in case of breakdown, etc. Every afternoon at 4:00 pm, we get together for "happy hour." Everybody brings some sort of appetizer and their favorite beverage (beer, whine {oops, wine}, soda, etc.) and we have a general BS session before dinner.

Ok, back to the subject now, our appetizer that we bring is going to be Cheese Fondue. You can buy the mix for the fondue in the store, where all the ingredients are there, you just have to put it in the pot and melt it. And some of them are true Swiss fondues imported from Switzerland, so that's what I'm going to get.

Sounds yummy! So anybody for some Swiss Fondue and wine, come on over to the Amana Colonies next month!
