Ron and I enjoyed dinner at The Melting Pot last night for our fortieth wedding anniversary. It was fun.We had the 3 course meal, which is cheese fondue, salad, and the meat course. We chose the Pacific Rim meat course of teriyaki-marinated choice sirloin, shrimp, peppered pork tenderloin, marinated breast of duck, boneless breast of chicken and potstickers. Bits of meat and vegetables were cooked in a yummy broth with wine and mushrooms. It reminded me of shabu shabu, which is also cooked at the table. We had a delicious Riesling wine with dinner.
It's not the place to go if you're in a hurry, but was perfect for a leisurely anniversary dinner. :o)

Thank you, Karen! It's hard to believe that 40 years have passed. The time has gone so quickly.
Kalona,
I tried to leave a comment here earlier;perhaps there was a typo....
I have no idea what shabu shabu is, but this dinner sounds wonderful. Again, congratulations on your anniversary. You are a beautiful example for the rest of us.
Thank you, Linda! My husband says Vince Gill's song, Look At Us, is our song. :o) We are blessed to have each other.
Shabu shabu is a Japanese dish. You slice various kinds of meat (or just one kind) very thin, arrange it beautifully on a plate along with a pretty plate of cut up vegetables. Each diner cooks his meat and veggies in a pot of boiling broth on a little burner placed in the middle of the table. You swish the meat around in the broth. The Japanese say that the sound of the meat cooking makes a sound like "shabu shabu." It's a delicious meal, and fun to do.
