I was a Mad Magazine reader as a child/teen and did not get introduced to the New Yorker until I took a short story class in college. It was required reading every week. I loved the stories, but the cartoons are what really captured me and I became a subscriber from that point forward. Like you, I couldn’t keep up and stacks of them gathered dust, but multiple moves have managed to convince me to recycle them each time. Good luck with the fondue… I always favored dessert (chocolate) fondues.

Cheese fondue is the best, no argument there. I've always had good luck with a gruyere-based blend, but if it's too salty you could try a commercial supermarket type like Swiss Knight.

But don't discount chocolate fondue! I'd expect any recipe you'd find online would do, then dip in cubes of angel food cake, strawberries, etc.

There are also savory fondues, in which you cook meats and/or veggies in hot oil, chicken broth, beef broth, vegetable broth, etc.

The whole fondue world is open to you!

I appreciate the musical clips you post very much. I never have feedback because I don't consider myself knowledgeable enough to have a constructive opinion, but I always enjoy them.
