Food & Drink - 28 December 2006

I'm planning to have a chocolate fountain at my wedding, and I also want to do a cheese one. I know that some places that rent fountains provide cheddar cheese ones, but I'm planning to buy smaller fountains instead, so I need some help as to what to put in it. I've bought a Rival one (holds 3-5 lbs of chocolate), and I've heard that it can be used for pretty much anything (hot sauce, BBQ sauce, carmel sauce, etc.), but I need some details on how to do cheese.

What kind of cheese should I try? I'll be testing it before the wedding anyway, but need some ideas. I don't want to use standard "cheese fondue" stuff, as it's a bit too sharp. I saw Velveeta suggested somewhere, but I don't know if I'd need to add oil, or if something else would be better. (If you use chocolate, you sometimes have to add oil to the chocolate to get it to flow properly.)

Any ideas would be great - and I'd love to hear from anyone who's done/seen one of these.

I have REGULAR white flour and I really don't want to have to look for/buy "SPECIAL" flour just to make a loaf of bread! I just got a new bread machine and am really anxious to try it out....but I'd like to just be able to work w/what I've got in my kitchen already.

Anybody have a recipe that they've used themselves? Please don't send "links"....I've already done some searches....I'm looking for a recipe w/personal experience behind it!

Hi. My sister gave me a really cool sushi serving set for Christmas, and so now I want to make it myself. I'm wondering if anyone has any personal tips or other advice. I've looked at many web sites, but I'm looking for some personal tips and/or recipes.

I'm a good cook, but am tired of making the same recipes. I recently joined a book club that specializes in cook books only, and I was wondering what's your favorite book? I have everything from Betty Crocker to Southern Living to Williams Sonoma to Saveur. If you had to get rid of all your books but one, which one would you keep?

We received a one-cup coffeemaker and when we first tried it, there was a plastic taste to the coffee (from the water tank maybe?) I'm wondering if anyone is aware of a remedy for this ....

I have found several online sites in the UK that sell it, but the shipping would be outrageous. Anyone know of a US site that sells it?
