Fondue, for Two

On Tuesday, I received the following e-mail from my hubby:

"I would be honored if you would accept an invitation to dinner this week - perhaps tomorrow
evening? I would further like to extend the invitation to you to choose the restaurant of your choice."

I love it when he surprises me like that. :)

Once, back in Portland, Dan's coworkers took him out to The Melting Pot for a birthday lunch. He raved about it afterwards and I have wanted to go there ever since. Lucky for us, there's one right here in Sacramento. So can you guess where I wanted to go last night? *grin*

We had so much fun. Our waitress was very nice and helpful in guiding us through the confusing menu. And after about three courses, I told Daniel that it felt a bit like Thanksgiving -- there is so much good food you want to keep eating, but you just can't hold another bite. :)

I really have to say though, the highlight of the meal was the dessert course -- white and dark chocolate fondue swirled together with strawberries, pineapple, banana, cheesecake, pound cake, marshmallows and brownie pieces for dipping. Such delectable treats really ought to be illegal. ;)
