awwwwwwwwwww the fondue
Feb. 21st, 2003 01:29 pmcan i just say that i really, really like fondue? like, a lot? jorn and i went to Teh Melting Pot for our anniversary last night, and it was a super-ymmuy experience. we're too cheap to get an actual main course, so we just had the cheese fondue for our dinner. our waiter was josh and he was really nice. we *loved* the cheese fondue. we dipped bread in it and apples in it, but not vegetables (although some were provided for our dipping pleasure). we had to request more bread and apples because we still had cheese left. i didn't like the apples in the fondue as much when we first started eating, but then it hit me how amazingly good it was--the warm gooey cheesiness of the fondue plus the crisp cool juicy tartness of the granny smith apple chunks. shit, i could write advertising copy for these people. anyway, it rocked.
and then we had dessert. we got the cookies & cream dream chocolate fondue. i was still pretty hungry at this point, but jorn professes to have been fairly filled up after the cheese course. so since i was still hungry, we got the size that supposedly serves 3-4 people, rather than the small which serves 1-2. we totally made the right choice. a big pot of simmering chocolate, and two platefuls of stuff to dip in it: strawberries, bananas, marshmellows, cheesecake, poundcake, and brownies. it was amazing. it was orgasmic. it was everything every dessert should be. oh. my. god. it was better than any food i ate on the cruise i took with my parents a few years back, and that's saying something. i love food. i love chocolate. it was great.
the rest of the night was really fun too. jorn surprised me by shaving off his beard (yay softness!), and then surprised me again at dinner by giving me a present--a necklace i had liked at a store we were at last weekend. i was mostly joking when i pointed it out to him (ie, i really liked it but totally wasn't expecting him to buy it), but he went back and got it! (as a point of reference, the last time jorn bought me jewelry was the worry ring amy and alyssa helped pick out--he gives me lots of other sweet and good and fun gifts, but rarely jewelry. so this was an unexpected event.) after dinner, we saw Daredevil, which i pretty much liked but jorn didn't think too much of (as he says in his post about our night out). after the movie, we went back to jorn's place and drank champagne, and after that's none of your beeswax.
it was a great night. we always have good anniversaries, but this one was really, really good. yay.
