Tonight we met the Kindleys at the Melting Pot in downtown Portland OR for a fantastic New Years Day Dinner. Martin and I had never been there before and the place definitely lives up to all its rave reviews. It was a first for the grand kids as well and they were great, especially since the meal lasted 3 hours by the time we had all four of our courses. They were very patient and cleaned their plates.
Yes, that is the remains of a lobster tail that we cooked in our fondue pot. We had shrimp, lobster, chicken, pork and assorted vegetables that could be cooked in the fondue. There were also 6 different sauces to dip the main course in that were all excellent.
You can see that Rob is ready for dessert which was two different types of chocolate seen flaming below.
Earlier in the day, Martin and I took the dogs for a nice long walk down around Fort Vancouver and crossed the land bridge which was designed by the same woman who did the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC. There are gathering spots along the way with the names of all the Indian tribes from Washington State.
Here I am being pulled in two directions, not that unusual when you are walking Guido who definitely has a mind of his own. A great first day of 2012!
