Fondue is my worst nightmare. I was right there with Austin. I don’t eat or drink after my siblings, my father, or even my own mother who graciously carried me inside of her body for 9 months.  

The quickest way to get food or drink from me is to put your germy mouth within 20 inches of it.  It’s yours, you can have it, do not attempt to contact me ever again. Don’t even get me started on people who taste while cooking and continue to use the utensils without washing them. Yes, there is heat. No, I don’t care that the “heat will kill the germs.” Get out of here.

Austin peed me off with the germ thing yes I get he’s a germaphobe but when he was explaining the fondue rules all I could think about where I could shove that stick, also loved Joy doing what the hell she wanted. If he’s such a germaphobe then they should’ve brought something else even just Swiss chocolate or they could’ve googled Swiss desserts and baked something, although I doubt Joy was in the mood and Austin doesn’t seem like the baking type.

Is Manhattan the only place that has the below?  Asking seriously because I've seen it on shelves for years; yet whenever the discussion comes up people always/only say Kraft.  It happened on TWOP too.

LOL, I'll share drinks and food from different places (i.e, 180 away from me on the rim of the cup, or they can drink off the edge if I'm using a stirrer, or vice versa) with people I like and trust; and/as I tend to fork things up in quadrants anyway, there's always an untouched area on my food.  However, I'm with you on the tasting spoon (goes in the sink, please!), and I once stood in horror as an unappealing classmate in community college showed me how to "keep a soda from overflowing" the vending machine by (and I apologize for this in advance) - sticking his index finger into the carbon dioxide bubbles.

I'm a sharer. As long as I know the other people involved and trust that they didn't actually swim in a cesspool shortly beforehand, it just doesn't occur to me to watch like a hawk lest I make secondhand contact with any "germy" parts of them. If I'm cooking for a crowd, I'll certainly follow food safety rules, but if it's family, and friends who I know are pretty laid back about such things, I'll do things like tasting from the pot multiple etimes as long as the contents are still at at least a good simmer. My son-in-law and I are both "pot tasters" and will frequently even use the same spoon to  compare notes over whether something needs a pinch of salt or whatever. I figure if his germs are good enough for my daughter, they won't do me any harm either. Honestly, if something is still at a simmer, is there actually any way that someone's germs can infect the pot?

I guess I would serve the fondue into separate cups/plates/etc

It would congeal very rapidly in small, separate cups, and even more quickly on a plate. The very nature of fondue pretty demands it be kept over some sort of heat.

I can't swear to it, but on cooking shows they often make a big deal out of people chucking the tasting spoon directly in the sink, and never using the same one twice, and I figure there has to be a reason.  I will generally taste a family member's if they ask me, and not be too fussy as to if they are eating after me, or me eating after them.

As for the fondue, I think you could get around that by pairing up people and having double pots, like in romantic fondue restaurants, which would be easier for the Duggars, but they probably don't have that many individual heating elements. I've only had the cheese type once communally at a party, and I don't remember how people got around the double dipping issue, honestly.

Haha...I always figured the reason was that they probably know there are a lot of germaphobes in the audience and don't want to lose viewers, but that's just me :)

Hush up, Grandpa, the young ' ins are having fun!

Austin claims to be such a germaphobe, who then licks his finger at the table!  I personally feel disgusted when someone licks their fingers, then , without washing their saliva and food grimy hands, go on to touch anything and everything.  Fridge door handles, salt shakers, I mean everything spreading their own germs and stickiness everywhere!  Yuck!

We have it all over metro Atlanta.  I get the stuff that is  pecorino romano, same jars, similar product but sheep vs cow.  Mr. lookeyloo has a food sensitivity to cow dairy.  Sheep and goat dairy are fine.

My mom buys this as well...probably because it comes in the smallest containers, and I've seen the same container lie dormant in her fridge for literally years until the contents revert to a solid block. Polish cooking doesn't call for much parmesan, but she did occasionally make spaghetti with Ragu sauce from a can and sprinkle a cautious teaspoonful on top of that.

Good God, Jeremy.  I like to have fun as much as the next person, but that gender reveal party and the competition were absolutely ridiculous.  I do like that his dad was such a good sport and dove right in (literally!), but wow, they couldn’t have chosen someone else to run that relay race and squeeze through that damn tube?  These people love to make a spectacle of themselves.  

Austin and his fondue rules made me want to backslap him right across that arrogant face of his.  I’m all about avoiding gross germs, but he sucked every ounce of fun out of that gathering.  He even lectured Joy about it when it was just the two of them.  Also, if you’re going to act like an asshole with your fellow dinner guests, at least pronounce the word ‘etiquette’ correctly.  ‘Eticacy’ is not a word, you smug dumbass, and repeating it four or five times in a row will not make it one. 

Jeremy did say the older folks could have a "pitch runner"  (one of the younger ones) fill in for them if they wanted.  Mechelle asked. But I did like how Grandpa Vuolo dove right in.

I don't know how many times I screamed at the TV for Austin to take his hat off.

Except for Lauren. OF COURSE she says Josiah. Plus, I think if they included SiRen next year for a couples dinner I bet that Lauren would join Kendra, Ben, and Austin as germaphobes. The only in-law who doesn't seem to care about germs is Derick. And Jinger is the only married Duggar who does seem to care about germs.

I guess when the only things the show can feature are babies and weddings, they have to come up with increasingly ridiculous parties to break up the monotony. That jender reveal sounds ridiculous.

Yes. just did a quick search at walmart.com for Alfredo sauce. a couple of different manufacturers.

I am not the biggest fan of alfredo, but I will share this horror - I have used tomato/Mariana sauce from the jar. I really never learned how to make it as youngin', and it took me years before I even considered taking the patience to attempt to learn. the family ate the jar variety and we lived.

I actually prefer Prego. And there is no excuse; iI cooked in Italian restaurants for 10 Years. But texture  is one of my dealbreakers and theirs just works for me. I do jazz it up a little but that’s my base.

I use jarred sauce for an instant pot recipe.  I have to confess to not being a purist as far as food goes.  We do eat mostly fresh foods, minimal processed, etc. but there are times I just don't want to fuss over something.

Reminds me of the Designing Women episode where Carlene was having her baby shower. Bernice got her a gerbil for a gift. She said people would ask the parents if they wanted a boy or a girl, and the parents usually say as long as the baby is healthy they are happy for a boy or a girl. Of course, Bernice said you would care if the baby was a gerbil.

Agree. I.m partial to either/any brand. I too add little extra. It's just when you want to get a quick spaghetti dish on the table, I don't want the fuss of making sauce. I looked at a sauce recipe that cooks for a couple of hours. I get it-the flavors of the  ingredients have to blend..

And horror #2 - I did suggest to my college offspring to have a couple of jars on hand. So I guess to prevent them from being like the Duggar kid adults I need to get them to break that habit after graduation.

I normally find Austin insufferable, but I just can't blame him over the fondue rules. One, his family runs that camp. I imagine (or hope!) that a lot of caution and cleanliness is used when preparing meals for campers. Two, he's been exposed to the Duggars' disgusting eating habits.

Homemade Alfredo is so easy to make with fresh ingredients! I have no problem with jarred tomato based sauces, but not Alfredo. And if you're going to make it, why not take a little time to make it delicious? It does not take long to mince some fresh garlic and shred some fresh cheeses. It really doesn't. And it freezes really well so you can make a huge batch and have plenty for future meals. I was gagging at that "recipe."

Hey, you know what would be an awesome gender reveal at a party hosting a dozen small children? An obstacle course specifically designed to get them to vomit up the ice cream they had to eat as fast as they could. Brilliant idea.

Man, those Duggar boys really did lose the genetic lottery. Kendra's dad is hotter and looks way younger than Joe. I never thought one of these weirdo religious dads would venture into DILF territory, but he's definitely as close as anyone could get.

Corrected it for you. They are trying to pretend Jeremy and Jinger have a lot of friends and are still the Duggar stupor couple by having a classy shower. They are getting more desperate by the minute. Cannot wait to hear about the first baby shower for JD and Abbie because TLC will definitely be plugging them as the next Duggar stupor couple.

It looked like one of those situations where it was less offensive (from a hygiene standpoint, not etiquettesy) for him to leave the hat on rather than take it off. You know you’re filming - go take a shower!

+1 for the proper use of etiquettesy.

Is it bad that when Jinger said they had a friend called Margarita I imagined she was a lesbian for a sec? Then Jinger said Jeremy married her and my bubble was burst, Jeremy wouldn’t marry lesbians.

I don't get gender reveal parties. Everyone I've ever known who was pregnant and found out the sex beforehand simply told people what they were having. The last few baby showers I've attended have even been thrown in the baby's name, so you knew the sex and the name. I guess they make for good TV & YouTube videos, but they're not something I want to drag my anti-social self to see.

I grew up on the green can Parmesan cheese and absolutely hate it, it smells and tastes sour to me. It wasn't until about 12 years ago, at the urging of an online friend, that I tried actual real Parmesan cheese, which is truly awesome. That crap in the can should not be allowed to call itself Parmesan cheese. It should have to admit it's a chemical-based Parmesan cheese-like product produced by aliens out to overthrow our society, one warped stomach at a time.

Thanks for the memory of the green can Parmesan cheese I can still taste it and smell it to this day and I haven't had it since I was about 8 years old.
