We just got home from the Melting Pot- in GR. It was quite a yummy experience. The only problem is now I want to HURL from being way too stuffed. Ryan honestly started sweating and looking mighty uncomfortable towards the end. It was a good time out though with good friends, the Boeves. We had reservations at 6:45 and didn't finish our 4 course meal until 9:30 or so. I had not been to the Melting Pot since college days. I went before a formal dance when I was at Meredith, and I think I went one time after that soon after college. The thing you never forget though is the smell. You smell after eating there since you cook all of your own food. I could always tell when I chaperoned the high school proms at Millbrook who had been there before the dance because they always reeked... so I am off to shower. It was well worth it though- we started with a spinach artichoke cheese fondue, had Athenian salads next (lettuce, garbonza beans, pepperoni, ham, feta cheese, roasted red peppers and olives), had the main entrees of filet mignon, shrimp, pork, sirloin, 2 types of pasta, chicken, mushrooms, broccoli, potatoes and squash; then followed that with a milk chocolate and peanut butter fondue. They had apples, breads and veggies to dip in the cheese fondue and cheesecake, marshmallows, bananas, strawberries, biscotti, pound cake, and brownies to dip in the chocolate. Yum, yum, yum! I think the cheese fondue was my favorite part and the salad was Ryan's. So delicious! They call themselves a special occasion restaurant so they asked us what the occasion was- I told them a night out with no kids. Isn't that as good as any reason to celebrate???? :-)
Cobe has his first indoor soccer game this season at 10 in the morning. Then we don't have a whole lot more on the agenda. Hoping to kick back and relax at some point after returning a few things and hitting Sam's Club. Ryan and I cleaned this morning, so that is a good feeling.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.
