Fondue Party

Last night Gary and I went to a fondue party. My old boss and his wife host this party which they started last year. This time there were 5 couples in all. Our job was to bring the wine. We had bought three bottles, chardonney,riesling and a red rose. Not only that but the host had a bunch of wine too. Their house is just around the corner from ours so we just walk.

We had shrimp, beef and venison marinaded in different marinades and some veggies. We also had a broccoli rice dish and another salad. For dessert we had chocolate cake with whipped cream topping. It was all very tasty.

It was alot of fun, you cook your own food. They had three fondue pots ready to go, she even had a batter for us for the veggies. You get to eat how much you want.

Gary and I were the second ones to arrive and the first thing we had to do was have a drink. Gary had a beer while I had a glass of red rose wine. For dinner everyone drank some of the chardonney then we ended up drinking some cabernet sauvignon. That one is a very dry wine, then we finished off the chardonney. In all I had 6 glasses of wine and Gary had 5.

It's a good thing that we didn't have to drive. We were both feeling pretty good. We were at the party for just over 4 hours. Had alot of good laughs and great conversation. We did sleep very good last night. Also walking gave us a bit of fresh air which felt very good.

Woke up this morning with a slight headache, but once we got some fresh air we were both fine. We had gone to McDonald's for some coffee.

We really enjoy this party and now we want to get our own fondue pot, this would be a great thing for Super Bowl.
