Today was the beginning of our holiday weekend.
Brad had today off from work.
Brad fixed me an egg on toast with cheese for breakfast.
Had a turkey sandwich for lunch with this fabulous pickled mango we picked up from Caputos, I love that stuff on everything.
Before dinner when I let Mitch outside he stepped in poop. But like stepped in and twisted and mushed it in real good. Shoved way up in there...oh yeah! I grabbed his feet with the towel when he came in but he didn't want to give me his foot and kept pulling and fighting, all the pulling starting flinging the poop around, poop on the wall, poop on the floor. Brad came in and held him still while I tried to get it all out. Then we had to Lysol bleach the floor, the wall, and I took him upstairs for a foot bath. Then after our fecal fun we were ready for dinner!
Had cheese fondue for dinner.
Asparagus, mushrooms, red pepper, bread, and broccoli.
Made the strawberry cookies his sister sent us that I loved so much.
(strawberry cake mix, cool whip, 1 egg and coat them in powdered sugar 350 for 10 -12 min or till lightly browned)
We even had the fondue cam going for awhile...

Dinner looks good!
The poo-foot situation is to be avoided at all costs. :-) We've all been there, I think.

Teach me fondue, oh master. We have always wanted to try it and, the other day, we found some old iron pot fondue set someone gave us; probably 5 years old. Still in the box!

I N G R E D I E N T S
1 garlic clove, halved crosswise
1 1/2 cups dry white wine (preferably Swiss, such as Fendant)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons kirsch
1/2 lb Emmental cheese, coarsely grated (2 cups)
1/2 lb Gruyère , coarsely grated (2 cups)
I N S T R U C T I O N S
Accompaniment: cubes of French bread on fondue forks or long wooden skewers
Special equipment: a fondue pot
Rub inside of a 4-quart heavy pot with cut sides of garlic, then discard garlic. Add wine to pot and bring just to a simmer over moderate heat.
Stir together cornstarch and kirsch in a cup.
Gradually add cheese to pot and cook, stirring constantly in a zigzag pattern (not a circular motion) to prevent cheese from balling up, until cheese is just melted and creamy (do not let boil). Stir cornstarch mixture again and stir into fondue. Bring fondue to a simmer and cook, stirring, until thickened, 5 to 8 minutes.
Transfer to fondue pot set over a flame and serve with bread for dipping.
