Birthday Celebrations

     Last night I celebrated my birthday with my mom, sister, and a few of my friends. We went to The Melting Pot, a fondue restaurant. The food was beyond amazing and everyone had a great time! At the restaurant, there are two stoves on the table with two fondue pots. Then the waiter comes and makes fondue in them. It's a four-course meal, so it was really filling!

That's my sister Z, Em, M, Me, E, and Coco- @citrusandstyle holding up our skewers. The pots are heating up on the stove!

The first course was cheese fondue. Since we had two fondue pots, we got to try two types for each course. In the cheese, we dipped bread and vegetables. The cheese was ok- it was probably my least favorite part. It kinda tasted like beer....

The second course was the salad. I ordered a basic caeser salad, and it was really good!

The third course was the main course. We each got a plate of raw pasta, chicken, beef, and shrimp. (We only had like 3 of each thing though!) This one was a bit different because we had to cook it in the fondue ourselves. We had a pot of oil in one and a pot of something buillon....it was kinda like broth. We also had some batter that we could cook it in if we wanted. So what we had to do is put the meat or pasta on our skewer and put it in one of the pots for a few minutes. The oil would fry it and the something buillon would just kind of boil it. I personally preferred the buillon stuff. Sadly I forgot to take pictures. :(

The last course was dessert. I honestly wish there could just be four courses of dessert cause this was the best part!!!! We got Flaming Turtle chocolate in one of the pots, which was chocolate, caramel, and sugar coated nuts, and s'mores in the other, which was chocolate, whipped marshmallow, and graham cracker crumble on top. We got a couple plates of things to dip in it, which included strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, cheesecake, and brownies. The cheesecake dipped in the hot chocolate was so good and probably my favorite part of the whole meal. (This post is making me really hungry....)

Overall, fondue was a great way to celebrate my birthday. :)

While I'm at it, I'll throw in a graduation pic so you can see my dress AND new guitar:
