Fondue-ing


Noel is going to be so jealous! I went to a real French fondue restaurant Tuesday night! It was so much fun!

The name of the restaurant is La Maison de Fondues. It was a cute little restaurant. A group of 9 of us went out for some nice food and a good time. It was the night before Nina's 20th birthday. 

The plates at the restaurant were super huge so Lance and I decided to share ours (even though I'm pretty sure it's rude to do that in France. I can't eat that much!) I was in a real "need meat" mood since I hardly ever eat it here, so Lance and I decided to get the Piemontaise. I think that
 was the name. It was deliciously seasoned beef with potatoes (another food I never eat here!) When the plate came it looked delicious (but uncooked), so we got to fondue-ing. Our table all got oil fondue plates. It was something different to do, cooking your own food. You had to be careful though that you cooked it all the way. They gave us lots of different sauces to dip the food in, too. There was so much flavor!


Afterwards, Lance and I decided to go all out and get dessert, too. We got this chocolate with peach alcohol. It was so delicious. Once we finished dipping all our fruit it, I decided to just finish the bowl of chocolate with a spoon. What can I say? I'm a chocolate lover. The price wasn't terrible when we shared. My whole meal was 15 euro.

I don't know if I told you but I'm getting super grades in my one class that actually gives me grades. I have a 90% average! This weekend were headed out to Lyon so I probably won't write about that trip until Sunday or Monday...
