Hey, Stwong Bad, Can I Bowwow Your Fondue Pot?

Until last week, I had not flown on an airplane in eleven years.  I'm beginning to wish that the pleasure had been indefinitely postponed.  Don't get me wrong, the view from the window is amazing, the take-off and landing are thrilling, the movies are entertaining, and the food is sometimes good.  But after you've been sitting in one cramped position for eight hours, with another eight hours layover and then just more flights looming ahead of you, it gets, shall I say, tedious.  And also, my knees ache.  And also, I'm tired.  And also also, I didn't get to brush my teeth until just a few hours ago.  But do I complain?  Never.  And so now, as I sit in a remarkably unfriendly airport in Tel Aviv, Israel (seriously, they have signs like "Welcome to Israel, now get out"...which I found entirely amusing), I shall relate to you a story which has nothing to do with any of that.

Hem hem...

Ever been to a place called "The Melting Pot"?  No, not the country, the restaurant.  Well, we had the pleasure in Pittsburgh.  It was pretty amazing.  I mean, our waiter got huffy with us when we didn't order what he suggested, which we found terribly funny, but the food was wonderful.  They have these pots sitting on burners on your table, and they bring your food out to you seasoned but uncooked.  In the pots they mix a sauce for you to cook your food in.  It was lots of fun, but the best was yet to come.  For desert we ordered a chocolate fondue.  It was dark chocolate, marshmallow cream, and crushed oreos.  To dip in there we had bananas, strawberries, marshmallows, and other such goodies.  Feel free to be envious.  I'm envious of my past self.  Mmmmmm...

So there you go.  One of the posts I promised.  And now, before I leave you, here are a few important notes:

-I changed the settings on the comments so now anyone can comment, not just those with blogs.

-Our flights have gone smoothly, so Lord willing, we will be in Cairo tomorrow...joyousness!

-Current vocabulary words everyone should be using: egregious, scads, and scope.  But not the mouthwash.

Did ew know...?

When you open up the blogspot webpage in Israel, it shows up in Hebrew.  And also, it's flipped backwards.

Thank you for choosing Lod's Little Tidbits, and have a nice day.
