Valentine's Day


Hi everyone! So yeah, I'm still not doing so well with keeping up with this. But I had such a great Valentine's Day (albeit we only celebrated for about 4 hours) that I had to share.
So I woke up with these waiting next to me


We had seen the Eeyore at Disneyland so I already knew I was getting it but he made it cute. The cake was yummy too!



Then we watched Night at Rodanthe- WHAT WERE THEY THINKING??? Poor Gregg thought it was gonna be a sweet romance movie. Yeah not so much. If you're looking for a happy movie DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

Anyways, then we went to a late lunch/early dinner. There is this place called the Melting Pot. I've been wanting to go there for SOO long but it's a little ( a lot expensive) so we haven't gotten to go. For all my LA Girlfirends though, there is a girls night out on the last tuesday of the month for $32/person. I know it's a lot but when I finish this blog, you will know it's worth it.


Anyways, so our reservation was at 2 and we made it to the offramp at 1:45. We didn't get to the restaurant til 2:20. WTF?? Well, they openned at 2 so it wasn't very busy yet. We got seated and I got my own long stem yellow rose. Very pretty. Our waiter came with the menu


And I got a drink: Pomegranate Cosmo. So yummy! Yes it was 2 in the afternoon but we weren't doing anything for dinner so get over it :)

For the appetizer we got the Spinach and Artichoke Cheese Fondue! Oh my gosh! This was so yummy. You dip bread, veggies and apples. So so yummy.


The we got our salads. I obviously forgot to take a picture of this. He got the Caprese Salad and I got the Salad de Chevre. They were very very yummy as well.

Then we got the main entree. You get a choice of three cooking styles. We just got the veggetable broth which was fine. I don't think I would have been able to do the others with the spices they put in. But you get 4 pieces of chicken, steak, shrimp, broccoli, potatoes, asparagus, 2 kinds of ravioli, and salmon along with six different dipping sauces. It doesn't sound like a lot but by this time you are completely stuffed. It was soo good!

Then for dessert we got the milk chocolate fondue. For the dippers, you get some strawberries, chocolate covered marshmallows, graham cracker covered marshmallows, a slice of cheesecake, 4 pieces of rice krispie treats, bannanas, 2 brownie bites and 2 maybe cheesecake bites. It was incredible.


The atmosphere and the food was to die for. Gregg even had a great time. We did end up spending $170 for the whole meal so we won't be able to do this regualarly but it was a great time.
