How do I make an easy cheese fondue?!
Ok, so my guy has been asking me to make cheese fondue for a while!. I finally went out and got the pot and all, but now the hard part!. How do I make fondue!?!!?!!?! lol I have never actually had it, and I have no idea if you can just melt cheeses in the pot or if you have to mix cheese with other stuff to make it the right consistancy!. He said he didn't want anything fancy, so I was wondering what a simple cheese fondue would involve!. Any and all help appreciated!Www@FoodAQ@Com
