Still As Life

I spent my Australia Day down at the Gold Coast and out at Lamington National Park and up at O'Reillys with my family today, I have photo's, but they are for another post.

Having been out all day, I had already had dinner before coming home tonight, and Rhi had already eaten. However, when I got home, she made Fondue! We were going to have it last night, so we had bought berries and things to use, but it didn't quite happen. Tonight though, it did. After all, the berries needed to be eaten.

I have never had fondue before, but it was absolutely awesome! If you are someone such as myself who has not known about this marvelous idea, it can be done with all sorts of things, I believe it is most commonly done with cheeses. We however had a dessert one.

Melted dark chocolate with coffee and cream mixed in with it into a delicious paste. Then we had our selection of berries, strawberries, raspberries and blueberries.

Basically, the chocolate or whatever you have is kept soft and melted and then you use these funny, skewer style forks to dip things in it, in our case, berries, though I think Rhi ended up using her fingers as much as her fondue fork. Thus we had delicious, caffeinated, dark chocolate coated berries! Yum! Almost makes the chocolate seem healthy, what with the antioxidants already in it and all of the berries. Okay, I'm probably kidding myself a bit there, but it's healthier than just the chocolate.

Australia Day recap and photos will be coming soon.
