Wedding Blog

With so many recently married Bees in the Northern California area, we were dying to get together before the holiday season. Mrs. Penguin, Mrs. Green Tea, Mrs. Lemon and I met up to do a little Pre-Thanksgiving stomach stretching with some fondue at Melting Pot (shout out to Miss Fondue!). Tuesday night we gathered empty-bellied, ready to stuff ourselves silly.

We split a couple of Big Night Outs amongst the four of us, which included several courses starting with a delicious Wisconsin Trio cheese fondue and our choice of salads - we stuck to the Spinach Mushroom and Southwestern Cobbs. Then we were presented with a selection of meats to be dipped into our cooking style of choice: Coq au Vin.

We chose our fondue forks carefully: Mrs. Lemon chose yellow, Mrs. Penguin chose blue (icy penguin blue), Mrs. Green Tea chose green, and I,of course, chose red.


Our Signature Selections included: Teriyaki-Marinated Sirloin, Chicken Vegetable Pot Stickers, Breast of Chicken, White Shrimp, Ahi Tuna, and Filet Mignon. Mind you, this was for two people, but could have fed an army when you added in the broccoli, squash, potatoes and mushrooms.

Of course, when you think you couldn’t eat a bit more - they bring out the chocolate fondue!

Finally it cools off, and we’re able to enjoy our Dark Chocolate Cherries Jubilee fondue with a plate full of treats (as you can see in front of Mrs. Penguin): fresh strawberries, banana, cheesecake, Oreo and graham cracker marshmallows, pound cake and brownies.

A group shot before we headed out the door: Me, Mrs. Penguin, Mrs. Green Tea, and Mrs. Lemon.

Thank you ladies for joining me! I can never get enough of fondue and my stomach is definitely stretched and ready for Thanksgiving pies. I had a total blast with you - we must get together again soon!
