Date Night at The Melting Pot

We had an amazing time last night.  The 6 of us had never gone out all together before and while I had absolutely no doubts we would have a good time, we certainly did.  The food was amazing and we had such a good time going from serious spiritual conversations all the way to silly ones.  But mostly silly ones.

But the entire experience was not cheap and it was not quick.  We didn’t get home until almost 10:30.  But I have to tell you about what we ate.  It’s a four course meal.  First you have a cheese appetizer.

We had the cheddar dip and the spinach and artichoke dip.  You can see we had fruit, veggies, bread and chips to dip in it.  All were amazing.

Next up were salads.  We each got to pick our own.  I had their California salad which had Gorgonzola cheese, walnuts and a raspberry vinaigrette.

Next was the main course.  Each couple has a tray of meat.  You just cook each piece of meat for about two minutes.  It usually worked out well if you just let two cook while you ate the first two.  I thought there would be a lot of waiting but there wasn’t.  And it ALL tasted fantastic.  We had jerk chicken, vanilla rum chicken, squash ravioli, sirloin, shrimp and mahi mahi.  I think my favorite was actually the shrimp.  But I’ve been in a seafood mood lately so who knows.

Next up was my favorite..the dessert.  I have to show you this picture because the name of the chocolate Flaming Turtle gets its name honest.  We also had white chocolate.

Here you can see what we had to dip in them.  It included strawberries, bananas, rice krispy pieces, brownie, pound cake, cheesecake and marshmallows

Our favorites were the strawberries in white chocolate, the rice krispy pieces in the flaming turtle and the brownies in either.  I know I was hesitant to go but I will go in a heartbeat again.  But really, mainly for these guys who we had a great time with…

Oh and one more thing.  My friend Melissa ended up with there for her and her husband’s anniversary so we FINALLY got to see each other again after several months.  Small world!
