Feeling mystified. PIL are somehwat from a different planet anyhow but they have presented me for my birthday with... a home chocolate fondue fountain. I mean in what alternative universe might I use such a thing? In the one where I don't have three small children and a f/t job and a crumbly overcrowded house? Where I give gracious dinner parties of a sort where a chocolate fountain would be a feature (or maybe carkey parties??!) Where we we use the silver grape scissors that dP got for his birthday...
Anybody wanna buy a home chocolate fondue fountain?

Hello mi, yes I meant to do a birth announcement thread but then I had that terrible 14-year-old thought "what if no one posts on my thread?" - how sad is that....

Am interested by how many people reckon they would get use out of chocolate fountain - are you sure? Isn't it one pf thsoe things like a facial sauna that gets used once and then takes up space?

but the thing about a facial sauna is, it doesn't involve eating chocolate!

also you'd be surprised at what you can get the kids to eat when it's dipped in choc . ds for example won't eat strawberries, but will if I pour a little melted choc on them. I think with the added excitemnt of a fountain, he's eat chocoalte coated carrots.

our local Thorntons currently have one in store..you can do your own coated stuff (food I mean!!...fruit etc)

I could have stood and watched it for hours....felt like tilting my head and trying to get it to run into my mouth !!

Dunno if I would like one at home though. Like KP said, its one of those gifts that you use once and then it takes up space.

you ungrateful Hussy! What WigWamBam wouldn't do to get a chocolate fountain from her MIL!
