Oh, Yes, Dear Uphill Skaters-/vintage is hot, as all of us HGTV fans know for sure! So, how about food/cooking trends. Well, yes, no exceptions here. I recently returned from trendsetter USA-California, Southern that is, and the new food trend is (I bet you will never guess) FONDUE!!

I got home and immediately went on line and ordered the cutest fondue pot you have ever seen since the 80’s. The actual company I ordered it from is called NOSTALGIA, so we know there is no kidding around here. I am enclosing a picture of the pot, and just for fun-a couple of really great recipes. BTW, if you do not want to do any genuine fondue making, get yourself down to a Trader Joe’s and buy the Swiss Fondue frozen package. It is delicious!!

CHEDDAR CHEESE FONDUE

3/4 cup apple cider

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (I like extra sharp)

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

1 tablespoon cornstarch (This bonds and thickens)

A loaf of French bread cubed to the size you like

Put everything into your pot and gently stir until melted. No wonder fondue has made a comeback. How easy can you get??  Enjoy!
