The Melting Pot

      On Saturday night I went out to dinner for my friend Simone's Birthday.(That's Simone up above!) She lives in PA and wanted to go "The Melting Pot" in Philly.  So Rodney and I.....oh, wait I haven't introduced Rodney yet!
     That's Rodney on the left. Can you guess that he is a Giants fan? Anyway, he is my "Man Friend" and love of my life.  I use the term Man Friend because boyfriend sounds so......I'll meet you at my locker after gym class.  He isn't a boy and hasn't been for quite some time. So I think Man Friend is a sufficient label for him.  Anyway, we moved into a condo together last June and we couldn't be happier.
                                                                                                   Life is good at the moment!
     So now that introductions have been made, back to the evening. So we hopped in the car with our good friends Leslie and Shawn and headed to Philly.  The restaurant was located on Filbert street so everyone whipped out their cell phone maps and we of course relied on the technology to get us there.  That turned out to be a BAD idea. We wound up somewhere in the hood. No really, it was the hood.  The you better lock you doors for fear of of being ejected from the car by a dude with a gun kind of hood.  We quickly regrouped and realized that we needed to be on the other side of town, like that wasn't obvious already.......
       We got the melting pot and sat down to eat.  Now, I have to say this, I had no idea I would be preparing my own food!  They put everything in front of you and expect you to prepare it all yourself.  The portions are pretty small too, especially after you "cook" them and they shrink.  So the food was mediocor at best.

       The best part.....the dessert!  They bring out a tray of all kinds of goodies including rice krispy treats, marshmellows and strawberries.  And you pick you chocolate that you want to dip them in and then just escape to heaven!!!! SOOO GOOD! I highly recommend the strawberries dipped in the Disorino chocolate.  It is AMAZING. 

        Therefore, the Kelsey Lime Twist advice for today; Go to the Melting Pot for dessert ONLY. Skip the entree and go for the goods! You won't be disappointed! I also recommend the turtle chocolate for all your chocolate dipping needs. It is quite lovely.
