This may become our new New Year's Eve dessert tradition...
Chocolate Fondue
8 oz. milk chocolate (we used a package of El Rey's Rio Caribe Irapa Dark Milk Chocolate discos)
8 oz. white chocolate (we used a package of El Rey's Icoa White Chocolate discos)
1 cup heavy cream (one half-pint carton)
2-3 tablespoons of our home-made cherry schnapps
Dump all ingredients into our electric fondue pot. Turn the heat to the recommended setting for dessert fondues. Wait until it all melts and stir it until smooth. Turn the heat down a bit, as recommended in the booklet that came with the fondue pot. Dip in yummy things and commence the feast.
This evening's yummy things included approximate 1"-sized cubes and chunks of strawberries, bananas, apples, and angel food cake.
It was very, very good. And very, very easy.
Happy New Year to all.

Ski Monument Hill merchandise
A commenter asked where to purchase "Ski Monument Hill" merchandise.
T-shirts, posters, travel mugs, and the famous license plate holder are currently available from the Tri-Lakes Chamber of Commerce, according to their recent advertisement in a local newspaper. They have a "limited number" of these promotional items available for your holiday gift-giving needs.
We have not yet skied Monument Hill this winter. With some luck, we won't have to. For those who wish to try it, the weather forecast for tomorrow includes plenty of snow and wind. Good luck!

Changes
A lot has changed since the last post!
We still live on the Divide, but in a different area. Our new place is lower in elevation, below the tree zone. It has taken quite a while to get settled! Maybe there will be more posts here in a while. Or maybe the blog will stay dormant until we're totally unpacked and comfortable in our new house.
We won't have as many wild animals wandering around. No more bears in the garbage, deer in the garden. Or not as many. No more grouse sunning themselves on the fence railing, no more turkeys wandering through the yard, no more mountain lions screaming at midnight. Our new area does have bluebirds, magpies, geese flying overhead, frogs singing in early summer.
We see sunrise on the mountains from our house instead of seeing the fog in the valley. We look up instead of down for our views.
I will continue to add family recipes to the blog. That way, I know I can find them easily!
