Seeing as today is Father's day (at least here, southern CH, and south of the border (Italy)), I took the kids skiing (it is a public holiday), and made a fodue bourguignonne for supper. While chunks of meat deep-fried in oil (or it's lighter cousin, fondue chinoise, stips of meat simmered in stock) is not particularly hot, the accompanying sauces can be and are. My favorites include Xnipec (tomatoes, habs, onion, and lime juice) and a cucumber-yogurt-habanero sauce, both from the 'Habanero Cookbook', using frozen habs from last year's harvest. I also got some small (20mmx1mm) fish in chile paste Saturday at the market. Nice, spicy taste. Great as a spread for bread. Tom
