I’m going to the Melting Pot tonight! I loved reading your entry about it. . .I can’t WAIT to try it out.
Yum! Let us know how you like it, okay?
Woohoo! And as for the Melting Pot… I wish we had one over here!
Oh, it’s so good. A fondue restaurant in general would be fine, too, of course. Or you could brave it at home, but our house plus hot cheese/chocolate equals mess!
I think I did pretty well without ANY searching around. Not that I’m your stalker or anything.
Yes, you did. And, no, you’re not. I’d hope.
ditto laurel. except because of #1, i just might be a stalker!
Ha. That was when I was undercover because I wanted to have some sort of archive for people to read. I saw this comment pop up out of nowhere and I was all, “Who found me?!”
Great quiz! I didn’t do too badly on the first 12 questions and the last two (I played along at home so you’ll have to take my word for it!) but I learned lots of new things about your life. I remember really enjoying your entry on dancing in the kitchen when I first read it.
Happy belated 200th post!
Thanks, Jummy! I trust that you played fairly.
I might have to steal that Scrabble membership gift — what a fab idea!
