Kid Fondue & Maker Dale Dougherty: Lemonade Day

When life gives you lemons, make Community Lemonade in Long Beach with me. Day 50 - Elena makes Fondue and Dale Dougherty talks of Making

. I'm taking the opportunity of this unplanned time off to connect with the many artists and creators in this wonderful city that I love. Come with me on my 100-day odyssey of art and creativity in Long Beach. I call it .

The fondue is on, my niece Elena's helping me make it.  She's amazing!  I totally mess it up every time.  Today, though, I want to share with you the video of Dale Dougherty, who is the Maker of the Maker Community, talking about making.

August 20th was Day 50.  FIFTY Days! Half way there! To where? I'm not sure.

--1/2 C. emmentaler cheese

1/2 C. of gruyere cheese

1 Tbsp. of flour

1/4 tsp salt

Shred cheeses together.

Simmer wine (low flame) 5 minutes.  Slowly add cheese.  1/4 c at a time, letting melt before adding the next 1/4 cup (This is where Elena is amazing! So patient!)

Stir constantly.  Season with salt and stir in flour (slowly adding).  That's it! When it's mostly homogenous, enjoy!  (it's so good!)

And now, Dale Dougherty on Making!  Enjoy the video!
