As most of you know, we are in the middle of a move. It has been lingering over our heads for a few weeks now & we finally did some REAL packing this weekend. We are stacking things up where our dining table used to be & will be out by Saturday morning!
We are excited about our new place - it is bigger, closer to work, and in a nice quiet neighborhood close to all the fun that Scottsdale offers! I'll be sure to do a post once we've moved in to show you around.
Saturday night we decided to get out of the house & use a gift card that one of Jay's pilots got him...luckily it was to the Melting Pot - a place that Jay has never wanted to try (why pay a premium to cook your own food??). I was surprised and excited that we got a reservation at the last minute.
We started with the cheese course. Jay picked the Traditional Swiss Cheese option. Check out his dipping skills....
After our salads, we shared the "Pacific Rim" (included teriyaki-marinated sirloin, white shrimp, marinated pork tenderloin, breast of duck, breast of chicken and potstickers) and "The French Quarter" (included filet mignon, breast of chicken, and shrimp, all seasoned with cajun spices, and Andouille sausage) with the Mojo Style broth (caribbean-seasoned bouillon with garlic & citrus flavors) to cook it in. It was all very good.
For dessert, I picked the "Cookies 'n Cream Marshmallow Dream" option which was dark chocolate topped with marshmallow cream, flambeed, swirled together and garnished with crushed Oreos. Need I say more?? We also ordered a Ruby Port - one of my favorite after dinner drinks to have with a chocolate dish. Delicious!
It was such a great night and as some people say "Just What the Doctor Ordered"...and Jay did admit that it wasn't too bad of a date night after all.

May and I LOVE the Melting Pot - except for the one time we had a waiter there that was seriously faking a British accent :)
Good luck on your move - moving is an important part of getting rid of crap you don't need anymore. If you don't do it every five years you wind up ... well, boxes of crap you don't need :)
Glad you had fun. Did you at least try the shrimp or did Jay have to eat all of the delicious Shrimp?
Todd - you are SO right! We are getting rid of a bunch of stuff - not nearly enough, but it feels so good!
Tricia - nope. I let Jay have all the shrimp & was happy with my beef, pork & chicken :)
YUM YUM YUM!!! Looks delicious!
Ahhh, moving. I have a love/hate relationship with it. We started moving in May and won't finish until August. What a pain! Good luck!
It's only 8AM and you made me hungry with your post. Wish we had something like that here in VT.
