fondu!!!

for now on every place i go i want to try to learn a different cultural recipe. so the other night when i heard we were going to have fondu for dinner i made sure to get my notebook. peter taught me step by step how to make fondu as i stood beside him looking on as he cooked. peter is pierettes babies daddy.
its very important to have a hard cheese. you also need a white wine that is not sweet. if it is to sweet add a little bit of lemon juice.
chop up some garlic and onion which is optional and fry it up on a low heat with some butter if you want. some people add different things at differnt times, but after the onions and garlic are heated up well peter throws everything in together. so add the cheese, white wine, pepper, and maize which helps hold things together and stir continuously. peters mom said to stir in a 8. i like stirring randomly. how do you like to stir. email me at dward.okun@gmail.com
the mixture will start to bubble after a while and when you take the stirring spoon out you will see a solid strand which is good. you can also when adding everything in, put in whaterver else you want like tomatoe sauce or eyeball juice.
peter had cut up a bunch of pieces of bread for dipping. he said to make sure that each piece has a good amount of crust so the fork can hold onto it good without it falling in the fondu. they say that if you loose your piece of bread you have to buy a bottle of wine.
he put the bowl of fondu on top of a metal plate which had a small amount of gas burning under it to keep the cheese hot and melted and not get to clumpy like.
i ate so much fondu. i felt gross. but good. i was also told that it is important to drink wine or something hot so the cheese doesnt clump in your stomach. no soda.

saltie!!!!!! they say
