Fondue-bee-doo-bee-dooooo, Part II…

Heading to Elaine’s in a little bit for our Fondue feast. Mike’s birthday is tomorrow, and so we’re going to kick off the celebrations tonight. Kathy & Tom and EJ & Sherry will be there also to celebrate – not sure who else is joining us.

On the menu for the evening we have:
– Cheddar, Roast Garlic, and Zinfindel Fondue (From Nicole)
– Classic Swiss Fondue (From “Fondue It!” sent to me by Heather)
– Bread: Baguette and Brioche
– Broccoli
– Carrots
– Green Apples
– Beef Fondue with Fancy Sauces (From Anne)
– Dark Chocolate Sauce Fondue (From “Fondue It!”)
– Strawberries
– Marshmallows
– Bananas
– Pineapples
– Double Berry and Riesling Fondue (From Nicole)
– Pound Cake or Angel Food Cake

Tomorrow we will be heading out to Cirque Du Soleil to see Alegria, which I have been looking forward to for weeks! It should be interesting now though … we just found out today that Jason has a broken foot! He hurt it last Friday and we thought it was just sprained because he has been ok with walking on it – turns out it’s a break in the growth plate of his foot and he is in a walking cast for 4 weeks now. I’m sure we’ll still all enjoy the show though!

Off to Fondue! Fondue-bee-doo-bee-doooooo…

Button, Button…

In case you didn’t notice, I am really enjoying this whole Blogshares thing, but when their site was down, it messed with my site because the button wouldn’t come up and the MTBlogShares plugin couldn’t update. I asked about the button issue in the forums and Seyed confirmed that it is ok to save the button to your site, to make your own button, or to just link with text. Just thought I would spread the word …

Speaking of the MT Plugin for Blogshares, there is another one out with more features! You can check it out here at Poetic Geek’s site. David is also making changes to his version, which you can pick up here. He has already fixed the glitch that caused sites to not rebuild when Blogshares was down, so be sure to update yours!
