A sunset and a fondue

We had a fairly nice, mostly sunny day yesterday. There was, however, a brisk, chilly wind blowing when I went out with Tasha in the afternoon.

Earlier in the day, at noontime, we had a cheese fondue for lunch. Here are some examples of the cheeses you can use to make what in France is called une fondue savoyarde — la Savoie is a region in the French Alps. Our fondue was a pound of grated cheese melted in a cup of white wine and flavored with black pepper, a tablepoon or two of kirshwasser, and a good grating of nutmeg. We ate it all, dipping cubes of French bread and cubes of apples into the melted cheese.
