Alpine Cheese Fondue and Hefeweizen challenge round two
Alpine Cheese Fondue:
We often find ourselves with a bit of extra Alpine cheese. I decided to make a cheese fondue. I considered buying a fondue set, but then I found a really nice one on craigslist, near, and only $5!

The fondue was fun... but I don't think it makes a meal or will be something we do frequently. I prefer my Hoch Y Brig un-melted.
I'm not sure the broccoli worked well in the fondue.
Local Hefewiezen blind tasting, round two: Live Oak vs NXNW
Kat's favorite beer is the Hefeweizen from North by Northwest (NXNW). I like it as well, but I have a slight preference for the Live Oak Hefeweizen... we sourced a growler of each for yet another side by side blind tasting. My mom doesn't drink beer, so she did the pouring. My brother is unfamiliar with either so he offered a new perspective.
Kat and I easily determined that glass B was the NXNW, and Kat proclaimed it the winner after a few sips. My brother followed her in that decision. I could tell which was which, but can't proclaim a preference for one over the other.
Beer goes well with Texas chili (no beans, no ground beef)
after dinner flying orb fun by the fire.
Marvin will chase that red laser dot all day and all night.
Kay-so doesn't mind being held when it's so cold outside.
