hot pot





So this was our seafood hot pot feast. It was pretty darn awesome, if I do say so myself! We ate loads of food and were so full, but man was it good. Oh, and yes, we did buy and tried out a couple of those hot chocolate drinks - purely out of curiousity and hilarity. After a whole process of reading the instructions over and over, pushing a button, waiting, shaking (the can, not ourselves), waiting some more, and lots of laughing (yeah, we are easily amused) - we had ourselves some sweet hot chocolate! It tasted alright actually, despite being too watery, we think a couple of marshmallows could make it better (hey, if they can figure out how to make a self-heating can, surely they can figure out how to include a marshmallow in there! Too much to ask? Fine.)

Good food, good friends, and a self heating can of hot chocolate... a recipe for an awesome winter weekend, if you ask me ;)

See you on Much Love Monday!

    Awww ... steamboat! I had my first steam boat a few weeks ago. Definately a fun experience that should be shared with friends.

    Yum! Such a perfect idea for a winter dinner :)

    I guess you could always smush a marshmallow into the opening of the can? Hehe!
