December 31, 2012- Chocolate and Bacon!!


     For New Year’s Eve on Kwajalein, we decided to continue our fondue tradition that we started last year with the boys, and my husband made two delicious cheese and chocolate fondues with all kinds of veggies, fruits, homemade chicken nuggets, pretzels, marshmallows, and the like to dip in the appropriate melting pot.  The favorite for all of us was the bacon dipped in chocolate. Who would have thought that would be such a delicious concoction, but it truly was!! After that, we read our letters of hopes and predictions written exactly one year ago, and then we started a new tradition of attending the Kwajalein Running Club’s New Year’s Eve walk. The goal was to leave for your walk anytime between 11 and 11:30 and make it back the closest to midnight for a prize. My boys decided to go on ahead of us about halfway through and made it to the finish line before the clock struck 12, but my husband and I were walking the final stretch when we heard the cheers from fiends at various outdoor parties going on in the neighborhood signaling the New Year had begun.  It was a perfect way to start the year with trying out a new food and taking a walk around the island, appreciating where we live and all we have been blessed with.  I know I’m a bit late posting this one, but happy 2013 everyone!
