One of my favorite New Years traditions is a fondue party. We make angel food cake and whipped cream the morning of. New Years is the only time we eat angel food cake, and we call it angel foo cake instead of food. There's also chocolate fondue and fruit, caramel too. Mom pulls out the mini wok with boiling chicken broth and you can use skewers to cook vegetables. My favorite part of the fondue party is the cheese fondue with french bread. This isn't like that velveeta cheese that people put on vegetables, it is thick garlic parmesan fondue and I love it! This year I got the recipe from her. It is super easy to whip up, you could make it in the microwave just as a dip instead of a fondue. The recipe uses a lot of estimation rather than exact measurements, just adjust it till it looks right. You can use real parmesan cheese or the canned stuff. I prefer it with more milk than cream so it's a little lighter, but it's about a cup of liquid either way.
