In our quest for a healthy start to 2013, we went to a fondue restaurant.
Vegetables dipped in cheese are healthy, right?
RIGHT?
We sailed through the cheese course without incident.
The entre, however, caused some concern.
”Mom, is the meat RAW? Eeeeeeeeew.”
Ever the vigilant parent, I realized this was a teachable moment.
I informed my kids the steak would look “normal” once it was cooked.
Nodding sagely, they handed their raw steak to Daddy to cook, to which I replied,
“Hey, how come you’re not asking me to cook?” Their reply was hysterical laughter.
So, I became the designated timer.
Must be because I have such an expensive, high tech watch.
The highlight of the meal was the chocolate fondue.
I agreed to share my plate of desserts with my teen,
mostly because I was distracted by our waiter
who had a square jaw and broad shoulders.
Imagine my surprise when I reached for a marshmallow and found this:
Moral of the story:
(a) Do NOT share your dessert with a teen.
(b) It’s never a good idea to flirt with your waiter.

Have you gone out to dinner lately?
What did you eat?

Ha! I’m already guarding my plate. My three-year-old is the size of a small man and has the appetite and plate-roaming fingers to clean out a grocery store

We went to Carrabba’s this past Saturday before going to see Stomp. Carrabba’s is my FAVORITE place to eat. I’ve never had bad food or service there. I can’t say that about any place. Hubby and I went to the Melting Pot once for our anniversary. It was fun but a bit to much work for me to do on a date. LOL!
Your family would have been hard pressed if they wanted me to time the food cooking. I don’t even wear a watch. Ha!
OXOX,
Kim

It looks like you were visiting The Melting Pot–a place where I’ve also had some great meals. Can’t say I ever flirted with the waiter, though.
And even though it was in December 2011–last year, but still the same time of year, and technically not dining out my favorite evening out was when my wife scored a couple of tickets to a Beer & Science event at a local museum. It was amazing. I’ll never forget sipping an Ass Kisser Porter Pounder while standing next to a giant model of the solar system. I was in heaven. Or at least in the heavens.

There isn’t a waiter cute enough for me to flirt with, thus causing me to miss desert, unless 1. It’s Gerard Butler 2. I’m not in the mood for chocolate, psssssssst ha!
3. It’s Gerard Butler with an Irish accent.
Have I gone out to dinner lately?
Not unless you count a hamburger joint drive-thru, by myself, and eating the burger in the car in -11 C degree weather
Your dinner looks infinitely better!
