Tonight Abigail and I went out for dinner together to The Melting Pot, a Fondue restaurant in Edmonton. It was my second time there, but Abigail had never been before. She was very excited :) The staff were soooo wonderful with her and made her feel REALLY special :)
We had this blueberry and sage lemonade which was yummy...and then we had the cheese fondue with various breads and apple and vegetables....Abby wasn't too keen on the cheese :) but she ate all the vegetables and a ton of the bread! then we had our salads....she ordered the spinach because she LOVES spinach!!
Then we both had the chicken and that was when the fun started - it took her a couple of goes to get the hang of the fondue, but once she did, she was off and then she LOVED it and said it was the best restaurant and best birthday dinner she had ever had :) we had a lovely time cooking our chicken and vegetable and mushrooms...we had things to stuff in the mushrooms and batters to cook the meat and mushrooms in....it was very yummy!!!!
Then it was the most important course - dessert!!! Abigail chose 'cookies and cream - which had marshmallow cream mixed into the chocolate and oreo crumbs too....it was flambeed at the table too....and we had marshmallows, cheesecake, brownies, strawberries, banana, pineapple, poundcake....to dip into the melted chocolate fondue....total YUM!!!!!
Service there is UNREAL!!!! Sooo friendly and helpful :) Abigail was a delight :) It was just a lovely evening :) Only disappointment was the pan was too hot for me to lick clean of chocolate....sigh...
After The Melting Pot, we drove up to Toys R Us and looked around (where I started to regret wearing such high heels - ouch) and then went to Scholars Choice and got a few school supplies knowing I can now start keeping receipts and claim for them for next years homeschool budget.
Then we headed home and curled up on the bed....Abby started working through her new French and Language Arts books all excited...and I caught up on Facebook...while we waited for the others to get back from Lloyds....
And now it's bed time.....
Goodnight
