Why fondue? I don't know why it started, but in the 1970s fondue was very popular. That's why I still have Mom's avocado green fondue pot. We always had fondue on New Years Eve, or Christmas Eve, when there was a long wait for a late night church service or for Dick Clark's midnight TV special. It takes hours to eat fondue, since every little bite was cooked slowly over the pot. It was a good way to pass the time, so we continue the tradition today!

2004, we introduce Hubby's parents, from Spain, to fondue. My Father-in-law had a sandwich! It was taking too long for him to cook his own tidbits! |

2009, New Year's Eve in Londonderry. We have the same old green fondue pot, but we've added a small chocolate fondue, too, for dessert! |
