After literally MONTHS of trying to get together with Mark and Autumn for some couple-to-couple quality time, we finally did it!! We started the evening with a home-made dinner of delicious steak fajitas and fixin's. Then we followed that up by dessert at The Melting Pot since none of us have ever gone there. It was a really fun time (not that that would be a surprise)! We laughed a lot, talked a lot, and teased each other as usual. Kevin and his crazy antics. Autumn and her quick devouring of the berries... good times.
The evidence: Yes, it is The Melting Pot!
We had some serious decisions to make... The Original? The Flaming Turtle? Yin and Yang? Pure Chocolate? White Chocolate and Bananas Foster? Just to name a few! The choices were all tantalizing, but after much deliberation, we decided on two: The Flaming Turtle (because the name was cool and it involved caramel) and The Original (because of the promised "crunchy peanut butter swirl").
Mark and Autumn, playing it cool.
Who are these people?
As if he needed any sugar, Kevin ordered a "fru-fru" drink that was accompanied by a sugar crystal stick. The big question was, "How many dips will it take to dissolve the crystal?" Well, he got a little crazy and sporadic with his dips, so Mark determined that the experiment was bogus because there was no control in place. The dips were different lengths, hence rendering an inconsistent result.
WAIT! We need to take a picture of our dessert! Everybody stab something and hold it up for the camera! Awwww, my sweet little blinker couldn't keep his eyes open for the flash.... AGAIN.
Before the temptation to stuff my face completely took hold of me, I had the presence of mind to take a quick snapshot of the spread. It held the precious gems of strawberries, rice krispy treat squares, oreo coated marshmallows, graham cracker coated marshmallows, brownies, banana slices, and cheesecake. Mmmmmmmm, heavenly!

we love going to the melting pot!! here's a little tip for how to do it on a budget... they have happy hour all day sunday in the lounge area - which is the exact same as the restaurant. their cheese fondue, salads, and dessert fondue are all half off. then, if you get on their web site and sign up for "club fondue" you receive a certificate in your email within 2 days for free dessert fondue. ed and i went w/o the coupon and it was only $32 for cheese fondue, salads, dessert fondue and drinks. wow!
also, i about died laughing when you called kevin your sweet little blinker... very cute:) glad you guys had fun!
I always knew that would be a place for me. We almost got to eat there in Boise last Christmas, but something happened (plus we heard it was quite spendy). Someday...and you have given me pictures to get by on until then :)
Great money-saving tips, Christy! thanks!!
I love the melting pot!!! Kevin took me there for my 25th birthday and it was heavenly, just as you described. All my siblings just sent my parents there for their 40th wedding anniversary and they enjoyed it as well. I think everyone needs to try it at least once. I'm glad you all were able to go and it sounds like you had a great time. The only question is... did baby like? :)
I hope you got the flaming turtle :) That's my favorite!!
I am so jealous! First of all because you got to go to the Melting Pot...I suggested it to Eric for our anniversary, but he shot it down rather quickly..but great money saving tips!! And secondly, I'm sad because you got to have dinner with M & A. I'll get to see Autumn in Oct. which is great, but we are sad to not see Mark :(
