I Fondefinitely Do

Have you ever been out for Fondue with 3 crazy friends? If not then I suggest you go immediately.

Monday night Jessica and her husband Roger, myself, and KT of Kpinion all went out to dinner to The Melting Pot in Addison. Roger created the surprise birthday dinner for her and you can see pictures of us over at Jessica's site.

I have had fondue once at a friends house before, but it was nothing like what we had at The Melting Pot. Hot melted swiss cheese mixed with cracked pepper, brandy, and white wine with apples and bread for dipping. With each bite I went into another level of heaven. When the bowl of cheese was empty I immediately started to go into post cheese depression.

Fortunately, Chance our uber hilarious waiter, immediately brought over another fondue pot filled with steaming spices and herbs and plates full of various meats. Duck, Chicken, Pork, Salmon- almost immediately the cheese was forgotten and my spirits were lifted. I consumed bite after bite of freshly cooked meat covered in various sauces. My mouth practically had a seizure of pleasure as my teeth masticated each and every scrumptious morsel.

Soon the meat was gone and I was ready for dessert.

Plates of cheesecake, marshmallows, brownies, poundcake, strawberries, and bananas were brought out, as well as an already warm bowl of caramel and chocolate. After my first taste of the warm melted chocolate I had an out of body experience.

Floating on an ethereal plane I think I saw the face of Jesus. A never before felt euphoria settled into my being and the waves of pleasure I experienced were definitely otherworldly. As each bite was consumed I experienced this same explosive pleasure again and again. I dipped in and out, in and out of this bowl of goodness and when it was finally consumed I feened for more like a heroine addict. My body convulsed and I almost when into a full epileptic seizure. Fortunately, my companions had experienced this type of reaction before and so they immediately began talking me through this withdrawal.

Soon thereafter, having regained my faculties, I made my way to my vehicle feeling similar to the way Lance Armstrong must have felt after he won his 6th Tour de France - elated, satisfied, tired.

So if you haven't gone to The Melting Pot, I recommend you go, go now! What are you waiting for Silly!

You didn't double dip did you?
(This part is unclear.) Unless you were intoxicated by its gooey goodness... it is again the rules of fonduing...

Can Sydney and I plan a trip to meet y'all? THAT would be awesome.

Ben, how funny, I just left a comment about you coming to Texas on your site.

Yes, you and Sydney need to come and visit. You can stay with Jes and Roger as they have an Extra Bedroom - if you bring the kids they can stay with uncle eddo or aunt kt.

Actually I am now ravenous! And fondue is simply the best stuff going - I seriously own TWO fondue pot thingies...one is electric and it's fantastic!

OK - easy making the TX travel plans! I think TMP HAS to be a mandatory spot to visit! :)

I used to love the Melting Pot. That is, until I got food poisoning there. That's when I found out that you can get food poisoning through cheese fondue. But, I eventually got over it and started going again. How can anyone resist rich, gooey sauces for very long? Mmmm...

I have to admit that later that night after eating at The Melting Pot I had an extreme stomach ache awake me at about 2:00AM. I had a glass of water and laid back down and soon I was fine, It was probably the quantity of food taht I consumed not the actual food, but at the time I thought I was going to be real sick, and then I wasn't.

It could have also been something I ate earlier in the day... who knows?

Cute title! Glad to hear your working on my site! I can't wait to see it (although you may murder me because I've rewritten the JW synopsis). Miss you. AF

Jess, *LOL* Yup. The health dept. told me that if cheese is left out at room temperature, it can grow something or other...salmonella I think... and even if it's melted the salmonella remains. I called the Melting Pot the next day and they admitted they'd done that.

I was up allllll night that night, but I won't bore you with the details. Bleah. Let's just say, I wasn't at my Glamorous Best. ;-p

Now i'm just plain hungry for anything. BUT...especially for cheesecake and cheese!!

I bet that delicious food made Jesus hungry enough to come and sit with y'all.

So, when Ben and Sydney come to visit, i think i'll come down with all my OR friends and join. Would that be okay? I'm sure Steve wouldn't mind.

10:20 PM  
Eddo said...

Of course you can come Tammy! Bring as many friends as you like and we will eat till we explode!
