what happened was

my girlfriend and i had a dinner party saturday evening.

one of the girls who came owns a fondue pot, so we had decided to pick up some fondue cheese at publix. i looked in the fancy cheese kiosk and didn't see it. so i looked in the dairy area next to the yogurts. nope.

so i found someone and asked him where i should go. he didn't really seem to know so he found me someone else. kevin, do you know where the fondue kits are?
kevin: oh. see- what happened was.........................we don't have them anymore.
me: ok. thank you.
kevin: um. i can order you more.
me: no, that's ok i need it for tonight.
kevin: let me check one more thing.

then, kevin walked into the butcher area, turned around and came right back out.

kevin: see- what happened was.........................................we put it in the hurricane katrina bags. so they could eat fondue.


so they could eat fondue.

too ridiculous. mildly hilarious.

i think you can use almost any cheese, it's up to your particular taste. gruyere and swiss are common. but you're right, the thought of the displaced katrina victims sitting around a fondue pot is pretty interesting.

Actually, I've seen it on CNN.

It's the craziest thing, they actually showed video of people on roof tops with their kids, dogs, some important family items and , , , , their fondue pots.
