Here at the Food on Fridays carnival, any post remotely related to food is welcome. Recipes are enjoyed, but you can simply tell us how many dozen cookies you agreed to donate to the neighborhood cookie exchange or reveal how many bags of flour you have in the pantry for Christmas baking projects.In other words, the Food on Fridays parameters are not at all narrow. I think of it as a virtual pitch-in where everyone brings something to share; even if the content of one item is unrelated to the rest, we sample it all anyway and have a great time.When your Food on Fridays contribution is ready, just grab the broccoli button (the big one above or the new smaller option at the bottom) to paste at the top of your post and join us through Mr. Linky.Here’s a Mr. Linky tutorial:

Write up a post, publish, then return here and click on Mr. Linky below. A screen will pop up where you can type in your blog name and paste in the url to your own Food on Fridays post (give us the exact link to your Food on Fridays page, not just the link to your blog).You can also visit other people’s posts by clicking on Mr. Linky and then clicking participants’ names–you should be taken straight to their posts.Please note: I return when possible during the day and update this post by hand to include a list of the links provided via Mr. Linky. If I can’t get to the computer to do so, you may access them all by clicking on the Mister Linky logo.

Food on Fridays with Ann

Some of you may have caught on Twitter (@annkroeker) or Facebook the fondue recipe I used from this site:Extraordinary (and Simple) Chocolate FondueIngredients:16 ounces dark, sweet or semi-sweet chocolate (I used semi-sweet chocolate chips)1 1/2 cups light cream (I used half-and-half)1 tsp. Vanilla extractInstructions:1. Break chocolate squares into smaller pieces and drop them into the fondue pot. (Or just toss in the chocolate chips)2. Add cream (which will prevent the chocolate from going lumpy) and stir gently but constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth.3. Add vanilla extract and stir.4. Use a fondue fork to spear the fruit, then dip it in the chocolate. Enjoy!We dipped pears, bananas, and apples, and a few sticky old marshmallows we found in the back of the cabinet.I had everything on hand.It was ready in minutes.We ate too much.But it was good.(p.s. It reheats well)Gather some friends and family for a battle-of-the-fondue-recipes night:Try Extraordinary (and Simple) Chocolate Fondue next to…
