What's on the Menu?????

Round 2 is about to happen and I'm curious to see if anyone has thought of what they're bringing. Mine is up in the air. I was thinking of a carrot souffle, rumored to taste some what like sweet potato casserole. BUT, I've been known to change my mind a million times up until the night before . So what is your dish???

Some pics of the food



 

I am dipped

Well last night was a lot of fun. And the food was great. Thank you all so much for joining me in a super yummy meal. I can't wait to see everyone in December.

Green Fondue with Fresh Herbs
1 small clove garlic
1 C med-dry white wine
1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 1/4 lbs Gouda or Edam cheese, shredded
1 Tbsp potato flour or cornstarch (cornflour)
1/4 C chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp chopped fresh chives
2 tsp tarragon (I didn't use this since I didn't have it)
pinch of cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp ground white pepper
1 Tbsp gin

Rub a medium, heavy saucepan with garlic clove. Add wine and bring just to a boil. Add lemon juice and immediately lower heat to medium-low. Toss cheese with potato flour or corn starch, then add to the pot by the handful, stirring with each addition until just melted. Add herbs, seasonings, and gin. Cook for 2-3 minutes then transfer to a warmed fondue pot. Serve with bread, vegetables, and meals alongside.

"D" Day is Almost Here!!

Dinner that is!! I LOVE the theme!! What great recipes posted so far!! Feta Artichoke... Kahlua... I've died and gone to heaven!! And the cheese fondue sounds incredible! I know everyone else is using the comments, but this to me is more fun! In addition to "hummus", or I guess Jason is bringing MY hummus, I will be bringing Mini Crab Cakes with Cajun Aioli. I've seen what some have planned...What about everyone else?!

Can you fondue?

Well, the countdown is on and I can't wait for Thursday. I will be making Fondue Bacchus (wine and broth) and Green fondue with fresh herbs (an herby Gouda fondue). I will also have some wine, beer and tea. Feel free to add what you would like. So, who all is coming and whatcha bringin? Be creative. It can be things that can be dipped, things that have been dipped, or an actual dip. Think outside the box (or rather the serving dish) on this one. Until Thursday...

Tick Tock!

I'm getting soooooo excited for Thursday!! Not quite sure what I have planned. Does anyone remember my hummus...aka Garlic Dip? Just for old time's sake, I *might* subject you all to it again. What is everyone else planning?

(FYI, I might have 2 gals from the CLBB interested in joining our group..yay!)
