Food Blog Entry #242

8/10

For the first time my mom TOLD me where we'd be eating for dinner. I was impressed. She usually asks me what I want and tags along, but today she DEMANDED that we go to IHOP. I suspected that she wanted pancakes, which is fine...but I wanted meat.

I went up and down the menu with no success. Then my favorite waitress at IHOP, Gloria, showed me their specials menu. It had a couple good looking items, but she pointed to a plate that included a soup or salad. I agreed with her suggestion and went with the salad as my appetizer, in addition with one of their new drinks.

Garden Salad: Lettuce, tomatoes, croutons, and raw onions with ranch dressing.

Cherry Cola: Coca Cola infused with a splash of sweet cherry syrup and topped with a cherry.

Haven't had Coca Cola in about five years, no lie.
