New Favorite Dinner Party: Fireside Fondue & Word Games

Friends came over for a mid winter break dinner tonight. We enjoyed roasted marrow bones (we talked a lot about Mark Bittman tonight) and fireside cheese fondue (Bittman's + a tbsp of good grainy brown mustard) with bread cubes, boiled potatoes, steamed green beans, sliced apples, and slices of Christmas dinner's left over roast beef. Our friends brought the most delicious shrimp-stuffed mushrooms. All that and a rousing game of "Synonyms!" It was the coziest.
