I don’t know French, but what I wanted to share was how much fun it it was to share a Raclette dinner with friends. I first heard of this from Leanne Place and thought it sounded like fun, but was afraid of adding another appliance to our house.

A Raclette is a French word that means to scrape, as in to scrape melted cheese from a block of unmelted cheese onto your plate and to enjoy this with bread, vegetables and various charcuterie meats. We just melted the cheeses in little serving trays. I love picking and diping different kinds of foods, and I love to share them with others. It’s fun to play with your food, don’t you think?

Tonight we shared a Raclette dinner with some of our friends from school. We had a wonderful time and we didn’t want to leave, but after a long day of basketball, the kids were exhausted and were begging to go home and to bed! Pretty soon they’ll be begging to stay home and not go with us at all, so I’ll take tired for now! Happy end of the weekend.
