IHOPpy birthday to me

Imagine my surprise when we drove by a closed IHOP with a sign saying it will reopen tomorrow! We had to go all the way to the west side for my cinnamon roll French toast. Got to work at 12:30, but it was worth it.

As it was worth it last night to go from the restaurant with good foccacia, goat cheese and lavender cosmopolitans to a cheap bar and then to Applebee’s to get a Triple Chocolate Meltdown exactly at midnight. Unfortunately, the cake was not as warm as it should have been, but it did the trick.
