Wow, I see it's been over a week since I've last posted. Don't worry, I didn't go anywhere, and I've been cooking and eating delicious meals. I guess life just got in the way of posting. Since it's been a bit since I've been on here I hesitate to post a kitchen fail, but this blog obviously isn't about perfection, so I figured I'd share with you anyway.
I got a fondue set as a wedding gift, and I was curious about it. It seemed like a fun way to have an interactive dinner at home. I considered a cheese fondue, but ultimately decided on a broth fondue where you stick raw meats and vegetables into a simmering broth and cook them. I thinly sliced chicken, broccoli, and potatoes and awaited my interactive supper. The chicken cooked fine. It was moist and flavorful, and didn't cause a problem. The vegetables where an entirely different story. The potatoes would not stay on the fondue forks. This is probably because I thought slicing them would be better than cutting the potatoes into cubes, but it was too late at this point. As we waiting patiently (or not) for our food to cook, we kept fishing around for the potatoes and finally realized it was a lost cause. The broccoli stayed on the fork, but took too long to cook.
Our supper that night ended up being small strips of chicken, raw broccoli, and sliced potatoes that I slipped into a casserole dish with some of the broth, salt, and pepper and microwaved. Next time I'll stick with the cheese sauce.
