Bring in the new year with a raclette

This year's new years was alot different than the quiet one we had last year and the one we had the year before on Belitung Island but it was no less a new experience. We had a Raclette night at the parents in law's - and I mean, a kilo of melted cheese and potatoes? noone can go wrong with that! It was more or less my first raclette experience but an experience that the husband went crazy for. About 20 odd years ago raclette was banned in his household when he came home one day and suggested to grill, not just cheese, but wursts and bacon and other such things. The smell was so strong that it left a stench on the furniture and curtains for months to come, and to this date, raclette was verboten in his household...until now. The husband convinced his parents to have one as a gesture towards me (as I have yet to experience it) so we enjoyed a raclette - strictly potatoes and onions and a look through the husband's baby pictures that I spent the last few days scanning and uploading onto my laptop. Happy new years!
