Fondue

Two years ago Jacob took his two weeks of leave over our five year anniversary. I had been saving my money and had a coupon so that we could go to The Melting Pot, which is a fondue restaurant. We went two days before he was supposed to fly out and when we got up there, they wouldn't let us in the restaurant because they were having a monthly ladies night. Needless to say disappointment wasn't a strong enough word to describe the way I felt. Well, we discussed it and knew that was our only chance to go, and so we decided who needs a fancy shmansy restaurant, we would use the money to buy a fondue pot (and still had some left over to go to Olive Garden) and do fondue at home. And we did.
The other day Camilla found my fondue pot and asked what it was, and so I thought hey, it's anniversary weekend, Jacob leaves for California for a month on Saturday, Friday night, let's do fondue. And we did.

The first course, the cheese course.
What Mary Emma was doing while we were eating the first course. Notice her diaper sticking out of the rails too.

Our marinated meat, second course.

The dessert course, and best course, chocolate fondue. The kids weren't big fans of the other courses, but they loved this one.
