Sharing a Raclette is a great way to enjoy quality time with friends, to switch off and relax. It is not a meal to be eaten in haste. Those in a hurry should go, look for a sandwich.
Traditionally a half round of cheese is placed over a wood or charcoal fire. The molten and toasted top layer of the cheese is scraped onto a plate and the next layer is ready for melting. So, it does take quite sometime till everyone has had his share.. Switzerland's very own Slow Food!!

Although the temperatures have been below freezing for the last two weeks, it's only today that the first snow of the season starts to fall.. Our "House on the Rocks" and the meadows acquire a powdered sugar coating..
Along with the beauty, comes the snow shovelling chore. It's the first time since I moved to Switzerland that i pick up the snow shovel and start the pushing and scooping... Quite a good workout I'd say!!

This kitchen in the 400 year old home has been stuck in the 1960s with the faux wall tiles, glazed cabinets, a rudimentary sink, a dishwasher with a broken door that was more useful as a storage cabinet, an electric stove that took forever to heat and an old electrolux refrigerator. It is desperately calling out for a Makeover!!
Since we both love to cook, we'd need more cabinets and a larger countertop space, and perhaps a Gas stove would be nice.. ok.. let me not get carried away already.
