KoP Melting Pot Brew & Fondue Dinner June 11

Don’t miss the King of Prussia Melting Pot’s Brew & Fondue Dinner tonight June 11, featuring Prism Brewing Company!   With a flight of four beers to pair perfectly with carefully crafted fondue, these tastes are especially suited to each other and are a true tasting experience. Enjoy a 4 Course special dinner menu pairing each course perfectly with Prism Brewing Company famous beers! We sat down in a comfortable booth while Bobby Joe, our server, expertly crafted the first course, a Buffalo Wisconsin Trio cheese fondue with Fontina, Butterkäse and Gorgonzola cheeses, white wine, sherry, shallots and Frank's® RedHot® Buffalo Wings Sauce. This was paired with a 6 oz Flight of Prism’s Bitto Honey. This was my favorite course! The Bitto Honey is an excellent sweet taste, a well-balanced IPA blended with a Chester County honey, so the beer ends with a sweet finish.    For our second course, we enjoyed a Mandarin & Almond salad. Romaine lettuce, red cabbage, carrots, almonds, wonton strips and mandarin oranges with an Asian dressing, paired with 6 oz Flight of Shady Blonde. Shady Blonde is a perfect summer beer, tart and refreshing. The whole course was crisp and refreshing- cold, crisp salad with a snappy dressing and crunchy almonds.   Our main course was Teriyaki-Marinated Sirloin, an All-Natural Breast of Chicken, Old Bay® Shrimp, and Herb-crusted Pork Medallions cooked in Court Bouillon paired with the Felony IPA, featuring European hops. Very earthy and went quite well with the spicy protein.   For dessert- Stephen’s favorite part- we were served the Rocky Road Dessert Fondue. It was a delicious blend of smooth dark chocolate, marshmallow creme and candied pecans, and a sprinkle of sea salt. We dipped strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, brownies and pound cake into this luscious creation, in which our server Bobby Joe flambéed for us first!  Dessert was paired with 6 oz Flight of ParTea Pale Ale. Blended with Orange Pekoe Tea and mixed with a lemon slice or lemonade, this was a perfect sweet ending to our meal.   Prism’s Taproom Manager Dani was at the Melting Pot to tell us a bit about the beer and the creations. Set in North Wales, PA, Prism Brewing Company pays homage to the now-defunct Philadelphia TV channel and encompasses owner and brew master Rob‘s love of film and television.  “We craft beer the way a chef treats his kitchen; crafting delicious ales using whole, natural and fresh products.   $45 per person.

Happy June 1! Lush's Ocean Salt Cleanser Makes it Easy to Glow!

Happy June 1! So excited this day has come! It's my birthday month and summer is heating up already ( altho right now it's storming! All that humidity in the air is great for your skin, ladies) and I say bring it on!

But first, get your body summer ready by sloughing off your winter coat. Exfoliate, shave, and moisturize! 

I like Lush's lime scrub to exfoliate. With real lime juice and sea salt and avocado, it's perfect for your entire body. I wouldn't use on my face tho- a bit too astringent. It's great for all skin types and feels so nice!

It smells great and the lime juice really gives skin a healthy glow. Remember your elbows and knees and shoulders and shins!

Mom into wellness? Juicing or smoothies is the way to go! Mom would love a Hurom juicer or a Cuisinart blender and smoothie maker. These products are sleek, chic, and so much fun to use! These products make kitchen time fun and lend their expertise to following a healthier diet. 

Coffee or tea? Which does Mom prefer? For the expert tea drinker, an electric kettle is key.  Cuisinart makes a great lineup of kettles for home or office. For coffee, does Mom prefer a drip-coffee maker or an automatic single serve? Home brewing is at it's best when served with love, family, pastries, and good coffee!
