August KKC was a Fondu and Crafts get together. We started the session with champagne (what else?), while we unpacked and set-up our scrapbooking, cards and crocheting paraphernalia. Thanks Clarissa for popping in for some champers and socialising but unfortunately she had to leave before the fondu started.
We had quite the spread for our Fondu luncheon. There were 2 hot oil communal pots and a melted creamy cheese pot. We also had a melted chocolate pot for dessert. We each had 3 long-stemmed forks to cook the meat in the hot oil. We could choose from meatballs, steak pieces, vienna's, chicken pieces, french loaf etc. There was peppers, carrots, tomatoes and mini corns to dip in the cheese pot. Fiona decided to make croutons with her french bread and dipped them in the cheese. That was really yummy and Prof Tim Noakes would not approve!! For dessert we dipped strawberries, marshmallows and bananas into the melted chocolate. So delicious........
With full tummies we tackled our scrapbooking layouts and chatted up a storm. Fiona crocheted her blocks for her Anja comfort blanket organisation. A few times her balls of wool had to be rescued from the demon dog but it was a productive day for all. It was decided to create a Craft Whatsapp group so that we could all get together once a month to do something crafty. I also think we should have another FONDU. It was fun!!!
