JAM SISTERS wants to share with you their currect cravings! CHEESE FONDUE that is!

This fondue (”melted” in French) is the classic Swiss appetizer of melted cheese and wine, into which you dip pieces of crusty bread. Use whatever wine you plan to drink with the cheese fondue, as long as it’s a white wine. This cheese fondue recipe serves 6 to 8 people.

Things You’ll Need:

·         2 c. dry white wine

·         1 tsp. cornstarch

·         2 garlic cloves

·         1/2 tsp. or so white pepper

·         2/3 lb. Gruyere cheese

·         1/3 lb. or so Cheddar cheese

·         1 loaf French bread, cubed

·         1 firm apple, sliced

·         1 bunch grapes

Step1

Mix half the wine with the cornstarch in a heavy nonreactive pan and stir together until the cornstarch dissolves.

Step2

Bring wine mixture to a simmer over low heat and add the cheese.

Step3

Slice the garlic cloves in half and add them to the mixture along with the pepper.

Step4

Stir slowly as the cheese melts, always keeping the heat low enough so the mixture remains just below simmering.

Step5

When the cheese is completely melted and smooth, thin with the remaining wine as necessary. The cheese should be thick enough to coat the bread and fruit.

Step6

Transfer to a fondue pot or serve in the cooking pot. Fish out and discard the four garlic halves.

Step7

Place the fondue pot on a large platter.

Step8

Arrange the cubed bread, sliced apples and grapes around the fondue pot on the platter. Spear the bread cubes and fruit with forks or fondue spears and dip them in the fondue.

I am trying to remember how it all started? 

Feeling ko bigla na lang naisip nung pre-birthday bash ni J (Judith) sa Chilis along Sheikh Zayed Road. Bigla na lang na create ang name na nakuha lang sa initial ng name namin tatlo. Sobrang enjoy kasi that time. Hyper lahat! or hilo na lahat dahil sa paikot-ikot na pagda-drive dahil hindi alam saan ang aming patutunguhan. Mga an hour or two bago maka-decide? ahahaha. Yun din ang araw na we started our “Chilis Collection” kung ano yon? secret hahaha.

J for Judith : according sa profile (whoever wrote it haha!) J is sweet, thoughtful, and pretty (naks!). At the moment, isa syang lost soul. Searching for something or someone who can be her life partner. Open minded and very willing to adopt new things. Careerwise, J is working as Duty Manager for Sky 24 Sports and Leisure Club. This girl dreams big! and so watch out.

A for Arlina : A is a mixture of bubbliness and snobishness haha hindi ko alam pano nya ginagawa yon but I swear, she can be the sweetest girl at one time but beware dahil she can really bitch out when she wants to. (Goodluck boys!) Careerwise, A is currently working as a receptionist and recently promoted as Party Coordinator for Sky24 Sports in Lesiure Club. A is single at the moment and trying so hard to fulfill her motto say No! No! to Arab. Tignan natin hanggang saan sya tatagal. haha!

M stands Macy : M is the more serious type among the 3 (tama ba?) and can be very emotional when it comes to dealing with people and stuff. M enjoys learning new things but really wants to have a simplier life in the midst of dreaming to become BIG in the future. Careerwise, M is currently working as Executive Assistant for the Director in a Business Research company in Fairmont Hotel. Currently in a relationship.

JAM SISTERS like to go on movie nights, swimming, funky and sexy clothes, bags and shoes, exploring new things, pigging out in Chilis (to add more on their collection haha!), boys? hahaha, meeting new people, being positive, learning the other side of the world aside from the usual “tsismisan”, enjoys ukays! hahaha, list could go on and on and on…

JAM SISTERS used to hangout at their building lobby with a bottle of Coke spending the night waiting for the “2 hours” call until wee hours in the morning .

That’s all for now folks!
