For the past couple years the Hubby and I have celebrate Christmas on our own before going to see family. Usually it's on the 23rd. Well, this year we took two days. On the 22nd we decided to open our presents to each other and our presents for Moses. We also opened the items in our stockings. Then on the 23rd we decided to go out for our Xmas dinner together. This year we went to The Melting Pot, think fondue. I had high hopes for being able to stick food into cheese and chocolate but all I can say after the experience is that its the biggest waste of $100 ever! Luckily we had a gift card so it didn't really cost us a thing except wasted time. The service was so completely horrible that we were able to sneak out of the restaurant as no one was paying attention. Don't worry, we left the gift card but we could have easily not have. Apparently our waiter was into waiting on a bigger holiday table aka a table with a bigger tip so our celebration meant nothing to him. It was a bit of a bummer.

Not to mention the taste was just okay. Disappointing meal aside I did have a good time talking to hubby. We had a good 2 hours of being ignored to be able to talk to one another. That part was nice.

Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...
