Melting Pot

Sorry for the lack of posting! I had every intention of posting last night but got distracted by looking up Au Pairing in Australia, which I think I might try to do next summer when my cousin is in Australia doing her last rotation for physical therapy.

Anyways to make up for my lack of posting here are some cute kitty pictures! Prissy was mad the other night because she wanted to go to sleep but I was still awake. So she covered her eyes with her paw.

awww she's so cute! Anyways yesterday in preparation for the melting pot I ate hardly anything so I could stuff my face at dinner. I had some unpictured cheese and a green monster during the afternoon. Then Rachel and I headed over to the melting pot!

We started with the cheese fondue of course! Cheddar because Rachel doesn't like anything else.

We had apples, various bread, and veggies to dip in the cheese fondue. It was delicious, my favorite kind of fondue after the chocolate of course.
The next course was salad. I had the caprese salad with big chunks of mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, and various greens drizzled with a balsamic vinegar dressing. I also topped it with some of their special garlic and wine spice thingy. It was delicious, one of the best salads I've ever had!
And Rachel had the house salad which she attacked!
Then we had the main course. We promptly dumped in all the veggies since they take longer to cook.
And here is our plate of dippers- some sundried tomato chicken, 2 kinds of steak, some really yummy mushroom filled pasta thingys, and shrimpies!
And of course we had lots of yummy sauces.
My favorite being the gorgonzola sauce which I put on everything.
And somehow I managed to miss taking a picture of our chocolate fondue. We got milk chocolate with Baileys, because Rachel doesn't like dark! And to dip in it we had strawberries, bananas, rice krispies, brownies, cheesecake, poundcake, oreo covered marshmallows, and graham cracker covered marshmallows. It was all so delicious and I was definitely stuffed at the end.

I was still stuffed this morning and skipped breakfast and went straight to lunch. I made this delicious wrap that had my last pizza veggie burger, the last of my sharp cheddar, tomatoes, spinach, and some dill mayo. Yummmmmm
After lunch the Fed-Ex man came and delivered our new phones! Mine is currently charging and once its all charged I can play with it more! While I wait for it to charge my sister and I are watching the Twilight commentary because she hasn't seen it yet! It is hilarious- if you love Twilight and haven't watched the commentary on the DVD yet you should do it immediately it is hilarious!

Stupid Bloody Dog

Alright so due to Corbin's injury Maggie and I have not gotten to do anything very exciting this weekend! What could have been a fun weekend of dog parks and Belle Isle turned into a bloody mess!!! hahaha Everytime we think Corbin is fine he does something stupid like jump on his bad foot and the bleeding starts all over again! So anyways last night for dinner I tried the Amy's Lentil Vegetable soup. I had high hopes after that awesomeness that was the Cunky Tomato Bisque, however this one failed to live up to those expectations. It wasn't awful but it wasn't great either. I probably wouldn't buy it again (i'll stick to that chunky tomato bisque hahaha)
So after dinner we decided that we could leave Corbin alone long enough to go see Slumdog Millionaire at the Byrd. We stopped by Galaxy Diner and got some of their amazing milkshakes. I got a strawberry oreo one!
Then we waited in line forever bc we were super early (however we were not the only people in line!). The movie was pretty good, not like I would buy it good but I would watch it again if someone else had it and a group of people were watching it. It was definitly a sad story and I think I like happy movies better! I like to escape reality where things like that can actually happen and pretend like I'm in a better place (like in a musical where everyone sings all the time or surrounded by vegetarian vampires).

So this morning (or almost afternoon) I woke up and snacked on this yogurt.
Again, this yogurt is way to thin for me but the flavor is so good!!!! I wish I could get greek yogurt in fun flavors like this! I was suppose to go to lunch with Ashley and Courtney however we had to reschedule because Ashley was out bridesmaid dress shopping with Amy! So for lunch I had some nice unhealthy Chef Boyardee beefaronis lol. And Megan told me to top it with some shredded cheddar and I tried that and it was really good too!!!
After that I had to have a Russle Stover Maple Cream Egg for dessert!
The rest of the afternoon was been pretty low key! I did some yoga and finished reading Nickle and Dimed for my ethics class. It was not a good book and I don't recomend it! It was about this middle class journalist lady who went undercover to work low wage jobs and live in low cost housing. However she always had her emergency $1,000 back up and she walked out on all her jobs when she got fed up with them! It was ridiculous!

So for dinner I ate the last of that salmon chowder and an orange. I didn't really think it was necessary to take a picture since there have been several other pictures in the past hahaha. I also had a vitabrownie for dessert hahaha.

Now I'm sitting with Megan and Bethany watching Twilight special features until Rob gets off work and then we are going to go over there and watch Marley and Me! I hope everyone else is having a great weekend!
