Two Boos Who Eat: Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to make some delicious fondue. At least that's what Andy and I decided this year.

Andy bought me this fondue pot for Christmas a few years ago (I think...) and I definitely don't use it as often as I should!

We cut up some sourdough rolls, a demi loaf of asiago cheese bread, 1 granny smith apple, 1 golden delicious apple, bell peppers, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower for dipping

And made a delicious cheddar/gruyere fondue with hard apple cider. It was fabulous.

Dessert was dark chocolate fondue. We had pinapple for dipping!

And bananas, leftover apples from the cheese fondue and funfetti cake. The cake wasn't very good. Blech. We ate our fondue while watching Julie & Julia for the first time. We both really enjoyed it.

Our set up looks like crap due to bad lighting, ikea coffee tables and a dumb camera operator (me!) but there it is!

Do you like Valentine's Day? I've never really had an opinion on it. Now I just use it as an excuse to drink champagne with cranberry juice all night!

I don't have champagne often, so I usually don't think to mix in other juices besides orange. Cranberry sounds awesome!

cause when you're single its an excuse to eat candy and drink.

and now that i'm getting married it's still an excuse to eat candy and drink.

i support and and all holidays that involve those things.

My new fellow did a good job though. Can't go wrong with a Sushi dinner date. YEAH.
