On Thursday afternoon, while at the Allergy Clinic, I found this new "Blog Writer" App for my iPhone. I wasn't planning on doing anything productive seeing as how I was being forced to stay at the clinic for at least 20-min after the nurse injected both arms with my meds and I sprung a leak. My arm was itching like crazy and there was a hive the size of a nickel growing bigger and bigger every minute! I hate when I experience a reaction to the shots. It's even worse when my blood doesn't like to clot and a simple poke of a needle brings on a geyser-like squirt that won't clot *Grr*!

Ok so I downloaded the Lite version of Blog Writer and I'm putting it to the test right now. I also found this yummy looking Fondue recipe in an old magazine (Why do doctor's offices always carry ancient out-dated magazines?) If I like the App I may purchase the full version which would allow me to upload images, Yay! The recipe on the other hand, if I like it I may raise my glass of leftover Merlot and drink to this Chocolaty Fondue Goodness!

Anyways, it's late and I'm feeling a little under the weather tonight, so try out the recipe below and let me know what you think of it.. And if you are a blogger, I want to recommend that you give this BlogWriter Lite App for iPhone a try!

Goodnight friends!
