hello mini oven!

thanks for checking out the fondue! in the glass is white wine...i needed a little more than that...it depends on how much cheese you have and the consistency you want... i only put about 2 cap fulls of the kirsch..it's a strong flavor.

Here I am, trapped in South Carolina eating leftover Chinese takeout for lunch and you show me that blog posting! Cruel, I say, cruel! It really looks marvelous! I want to take swim in the fondue but would certainly "satisfice" with that bread!

Hi  Everyone,

Thanks for the yums, Dabrown!!! 

Heidi, the fresh warm cheese fondue wasn't intended to be cruel!, but wowsa if you could've been here!   FYI  Fondue "season" is officially over in south Florida, so no more hot cheese pictures.

... in that we are entering the season where the kitchen is a steady air-conditioned 78F -- perfect for countertop dough development.   For those of you who aren't from the Southeastern US, we are now entering our 4+ month period in which we close the windows, turn on the AC, and only venture outside to get into the air-conditioned car to go to the air-conditioned grocery store.  We try not to fry as we cross the parking lots.  We have a lot of 95/95 days here:  95F and 95% humidity.
