Chocolate Fondue Fiesta

Every year, around this time, I go ga-ga for fondue. It used to be...well, it sort of still is...a tradition that I have cheese fondue for my birthday. I prefer having it at home, as opposed to stuffy Chesa at Peninsula. There's something about fondue that makes it happy party food, even more so than shabu shabu, Chinese hot pot or other communal-cooking variations. It's probably just because it reminds me of skiing.

I just got Chocolate Unlimited's email flyer about their Fondue au Chocolat range of handy, in-a-microwaveable-jar, chocolate fondues. It's easy:
1. Select from 10 flavours or select them all (I want to try Dark 70% Cocoa, Dark & Rum, Dark & Ginger and Dark & Amaretto)
2. Zap it in the microwave for 2 minutes
3. Voila! Enjoy with fresh strawberries, biscuits, dried fruits, nuts, pretzels, ridged potato chips...whatever you fancy. It stays liquid for 45 minutes, but chances are it'll all be gone before then.

I want to have a chocolate fondue tasting/James Bond card game (DY's designed a brilliant deck of James Bond theme cards, 210 cards in all covering 21 Bond movies and 10 suits ranging from "The Fling", "The Gadget", "The Car" etc. There are different ways to play the cards, one of the ways is to play it like Go Fish!) evening. All that sugar will keep us up playing till morning, I'm sure. Maybe I'll bring it to Cortina over Chinese New Year. Just in case there's no snow. Pleeeaaasse let it snow, let it dump, let it dump!!!
