Raclette

This winter I caved in and bought a raclette appliance for two. It's like a tiny grill with two skillets, you put raclette cheese (or whatever cheese really) you'd like to have melted and BAM! Melted cheese.

I had never owned one of these and I'm really wondering why it took me so long. Probably because these appliances are usually sold to make raclette for 6 or 8 people, and we are only 2. But I found one on sale for 20€ so...

We had a few raclette meals with lots of wine and charcuterie. I, of course, ate way too much but how heavenly this all was! 

It's really the type of meal where everyone has to be gathered around the table and the machine. Lately we haven't been using the table a lot so it was nice to have a nice little ('little' is just a figure of speech) meal this way.

Raclette machine in all its glory.

Picture of trash, yeah I know... It's kind of hard to spot but we threw away the second glass we found on the curb in Toronto. It broke. Never thought they would last that long. I thought they would break on the way from Toronto to home. 

But no, we enjoyed two beautiful martini glasses that we got for free on a trip for a few months. That's it. Just wanted to pay triBute.

RIP beautiful glasses. Much too delicate for our rough ways.
