Monday night we had a "Europe Rendezvous" with our friends the Stevenson's and the McNeal's. Our group of six had traveled to the France/Switzerland/Italy area last spring and when Zach finished a slide show of our past travels recently, we had a great reason to get together, reminisce, and laugh about our adventures. The McNeal's served raclette for dinner which was a great way to remember the smells and tastes of the area we had visited. Since this trip I have learned that "raclette" is both a type of cheese and informally the act of eating this cheese. I believe it originated in Switzerland/France. It literally means to "scrape" and is traditionally done on a huge wheel of cheese that they melt and you scrape off from. The McNeal's had a more conventional raclette grill and we melted any form of cheese we could get our hands on. It was a yummy and visually funny evening! Hope we all go again soon!

Not familiar with raclette until now. Sounds like fun with great friends.
