Fondue Recipes

Shelley had a good time at the baby shower last Saturday. She doesn't like to be the center of attention, but she did it for Tiger.

We had another ultrasound appointment today. Tiger was little too shy and wouldn't show his face, so we don't have any really good pictures. However, his weight is 5 lbs 11 oz which is pretty big for his age.

Shelley's sister, Ellen, gave us a couple of fondue recipes that many people have asked for. We have posted them here:


• If you don’t have a fondue pot, you can also use a double broiler placed over a pot of simmering water.
