When our kids produce good grades, do chores with a smile and generally don't make us crabby we feel it is always best to appreciate them with a wee celebration every now and then. Problem is coming up with something more original than a trip to Brusters. Now don't get me wrong, we love the fresh, creamy ice cream thingy, but it loses its lustre after a while.
Then I remembered the joy of fondue. Interactive dining at its finest. Of course the full monty at a place like the Melting Pot can run you a bundle so we decided that until this economy turns around to our liking we'd just go for the dessert. Chocolate fondue...heaping pots of melted chocolate served along with platters of cookies, fruits, breads and marshmellows. Joy, bliss, an interactive dessert! Do expect a few stray fingers to dip into the pot...and messy, did I say messy? No matter, someone else does the cleaning and remember, it's a celebration. Melting Pot, $15 per person for chocolate fondue. Monday nights is Girl's Night Out with $25 three course meals (inlcuding dessert) www.meltingpot.com
