Sheils Writes

…that is the question!

I’m sitting here trying to come up with something profound, unique and witty to write about and what pops in my head, why fondue of course!

Then I start thinking about life and how it relates to fondue.  I never said this blog would be sensible, I actually never said what this blog would be as I’m still figuring it out as I go!

Looking at this pic I snapped in 2021 while resurrecting the fondue experience at my parents house one cold February afternoon somehow reminded me of aging!  One day you feel like a cube of day old bread and one day you feel amazing when you get dipped in hot melted cheese!

Being the day old cubed bread ain’t so bad, people kind of leave you alone, you become indifferent to things that used to worry you, you can sit as quiet and unassuming as you’d like and that’s a good thing, at least I think.  But, watch out, because somedays you just want that skinny fork to take you out of your bowl and plunge you into delicious, hot melted cheese, swirl you around and tell the world, guess what, here I am!  I’m doing great, I’m happy, I’m vibrant and full of life.

Aging is inevitable.  

Stale bread days are just as good as melted cheese days!
