Which means I have to get the grill out and clean it.
I haven't had it out yet this season.
Will mix up my marinade for peppers, zucchini and onions and let that impart delicious herby, garlicky flavors for the rest of the day.

It's really too hot here to run the oven, but it's got to be done.
And things should have really cooled off by the time the guests get here.

(22,169 posts)I haven't used my fondue pot and cute little fondue forks in years .
What kind of cheese are you using?
cbayer
(146,218 posts)I generally use a mixture of gruyere and emmentaler.
I always try to make a fresh, crusty bread and generally have grapes, apples and pear as well.
The fondue pot was left on the boat when we bought it and I have used it a lot since them. Our table is round, so it works perfectly.
And people love it. It's my number 1 requested meal by far.
I can't do beef (pot of boiling oil on a boat - not cool) and don't really care for chocolate.
But cheese? Any time.

It was LOADS of fun... and it was the only time our family had real conversations
at the dinner table. I wish it were more prevalent now.
.
There a fondue restaurant in town with cheese, meat &/or seafood, and chocolate
versions for a full 3-course meal, but it's fairly expensive.
