“Fondue” Cedar Park, 2024
This year it was just Mariko and I for our traditional fondue. Bay is in New York, and Koa was busy so… more fondue for us! 😁

Valentines Fondue
“Fondue for Two” Cedar Park, 2023
One of our family traditions is a cheese fondue dinner for Valentines Day. I guess it’s somewhat popular here in the US, or at least it used to be. Anyway, this year it was just Mariko and I since both kids are away at school, so for the first time, we had mushrooms with our fondue. So yummy!
Earlier in the day, I went to pick up a bouquet of flowers, and the curbside delivery lady also gave me a single red rose (and a sparkling water). It’s maybe the first time I’ve ever received a rose from a girl! I mentioned this to my friend, and he said that he read that 95% of men only receive flowers at their funeral. I don’t know if that’s true, but it seem plausible. So it’s nice that I’ve joined the 5%. :)
Valentine’s Fondue
“Valentine’s Fondue” Cedar Park, 2022
Mariko and I enjoyed our annual cheese fondue dinner to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but this year it was just the two of us. Our oldest son is at university, and our youngest son had dinner with his girlfriend.
So it was a couple’s fondue dinner for the first time in a many years. Kids grow up so fast!
Even without the kids, it was a fun and delicious dinner. I am often just a little bit worried what life will be like as empty-nesters, but on each occasion where we find ourselves in that situation, it has been fine.

Tonight we enjoyed our yearly fondue! It was delicious, but we didn’t have the chocolate fondue for dessert. Just the cheese fondue main course, which is fine with me since I’m not a huge fan of sweets. Because we were pretty busy this year, our dinner table wasn’t fancy, but the food was delicious as always. 😊❤️
Fondue Dinner at Home
“Double Cheese” Cedar Park, 2019
こんばんは。How’s it going?
Tonight we had a wonderful fondue dinner at home. We have a family Valentine’s tradition to eat fondue, but because of Mariko’s schedule yesterday, we had to delay it for a night. But we definitely can’t miss our annual fondue dinner!
As always, we have two pots of cheese, one with wine for Mariko and I, and the other with no alcohol for the kiddos. Every year they try the “adult” fondue, and scrunch up their faces at the taste. “Horrible” was heard this time around. But eventually, I think they will prefer the wine and cheese fondue. Until that day, it’s all for Mariko and me!
The ingredients for dipping were simple this year, with a yummy chicken/spinach sausage, potato, broccoli, carrots, and homemade baguette cubes. It was a yummy dinner!
