Saturday was another "cold" day. I even decided to wear a light turtle neck that I have with a 3/4 sleeve. Fernando cracked up when he saw me zip up my ankle boots and told me to take a picture because this would probably be the only day fit for wearing that here!
We worked around the house, still unpacking some of the boxes that are haunting my dining room.
We went to the shopping area 3 blocks away so the guys could get a haircut while the car was being washed, and Fernando and I had some coffee and pastries. I took an extra sweater and we headed out. Fernando had to run back in to get his jacket since the light rain and the wind made it all cooler (see??? "I told you so" was in order, but I just laghed out loud!).
Later on Eric got the call he was waiting for: a group invitation to the movies! We all took him to the mall (yes, Barra Shopping) which was absolutely packed because nobody wanted to be outside in the cold! He met 4 boys and a girl and took my cell phone to call me later on. We let our little boy walk away without us! While at the mall, I checked out a bicycle store because I want a basket on my pink Schwinn.
When we picked him up, he was really happy telling us all the stories and talking about his friends. They had McDonald's after the movie, so he was only going to chat with us while we had the fondue I had told them about, and he was sorry about this because fondue did seem like a good idea.
We finally got home, late and cold, it was dark and wet outside, perfect for a fondue night. We set the table and cut the bread, heated the cheese and just then reallized we were out of white wine. "Look over there", I motioned while trying to keep the cheese moving, but desperately needing the wine... so I left the place for 30 seconds, in the hands of Fernando and Alan... and they were "experimenting" with RED wine. YES, merlot was their choice. The mixture looked interesting to begin with, but was quickly changing to a weirder color, a violet-grayish shade of purple- blue hues were appearing and mixing with the yellowish cheese...
Eric came into the room and asked about the "play-doh" -until he figured out we were not "playing", but actually "cooking" the fondue!!! We all laughed when he pointed out that McDonald's was actually a VERY good choice that night!
We ate our plastified concoction, promising never to use red wine again!
