Welcome

I had a demanding career back in the day and traveled a lot so needless to say, I would do about anything to avoid cooking. Ironically enough, I really enjoy cooking and especially baking.

Anyway, since my husband and I dined out several times a week and well, we still do, people always wanted my advice on where to eat, what to have, what is the best new hot spot and they wanted details, details, details. I live in a vacation spot so I would also be asked for recommendations on where to take out of town guests and by price range, no less. So this blog is a way for my friends, family and anyone who is interested to read about my latest dining or drinking experiences, mostly in and around south Florida. They might even find a recipe or two on those occasions I actually stay home. Good eating!

Fondue did it

Went out with my daughter yesterday to celebrate Mother's Day early - as is usual, we wondered where to have dinner. As we were shopping at this new outdoor shopping area in Hallandale, we just couldn't make up our minds - so typical when neither of us has a craving for anything in particular. Didn't want chicken since I'm make chicken on the Cocorico today for us, along with steaks and lamb chops for the guys (it's my husband's birthday today). Anyway, we thought maybe pasta or maybe Asian but still nothing jumped out at us. Heather had an idea - why not go to Anthony's Runway 84, Italian place and neither of us had been. We get there and decide "no" - that's not it either. At long last, we decided on something we don't do often and haven't done in ages. The Melting Pot - it was such a nice leisurely dinner. Got some wine and started off with their cheese fondue with bread and veggies, next course we did the seafood in a court bouillon and we couldn't leave without chocolate with fruit, brownies and Rice Krispies treats - all bite size and wonderful. Oh and of course, it was a great dark chocolate. Everything was really good and it was a very nice way to spend dinner - I would def. recommend it for anyone who just wants to linger and eat slowly. When I looked around, and/or think about it, it seems most suitable for ladies who want to visit, chat and eat or a couple who is still at the dating stage unless you are married to a guy who enjoys bite size food and doesn't mind spend hours eating :-)
