Dippin' Our Way Into 2012

Last night we had reservations at Simply Fondue in Dallas. Bryan and I love fondue but have never exposed Parker to it. With a fascination with dipping, I figured he would love it and it would be a real treat. It was an enjoyable experience and Parker says his favorite part was "dippin' the chocolate".

Since it was NYE, there was a preset menu and they made the evening very special. The first course was cheese fondue, bread, veggies and fruit:
The second course was the meat, which was accompanied by several different sauces and batters. You could dip your pork, chicken, beef, seafood and potatoes in the batter (or not) and then fry it in the oil. Bryan loved this part but Parker and I could have done without it :)

And the third and final course, which was the best, was the milk chocolate fondue. If we were at home, I would have licked the entire bowl but because we were in public, I had to use the "dippers" that were provided:

A little roasted marshmallows before we got started:

Then it was on! Oh, and did I mention that they would bring you a refill on all the dippers you wanted?!? That was an important detail that should NOT be left out ;)

Our NYE dinner was fun and we would consider doing it again on a special occasion. However, I would not recommend this for a casual dinner out with a toddler :)
