My last IHOP experience (post-concert in suburbia) led to gastrointestinal unpleasantness. Granted, it could have been due to the hours I spent in the mosh pit, but I remain unconvinced.

Next time I'm in the States I'm making DH bring me to IHOP.

So the whole International part of their name is just a hoax?

Not at all, they are in the U.S. and in Texas.

I'm a bisquick pancake girl.

That's the base ingredient of my pancakes. I make a few modifications though.

UK standard of living rises above that in America for the first time in a century

For the first time in more than 100 years, British living standards have risen above those of Americans, a report has declared.

Increasing incomes, longer holidays and "free" healthcare have all contributed to making Britons better off than our friends across the Atlantic, according to the respected Oxford Economics consultancy.

The feel-rich factor is calculated using the gross domestic product (GDP) per citizen - an indicator of average incomes - which in Britain will be £23,500 this year, compared with £23,250 in America, it predicts.

I guess that means we need to boycott British goods so we can drag them down. So much for me buying an Aston Martin.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

They have pancakes from many lands.

Okay, I can be flexible. I'll try a selection of pancake places. We get pancakes one day a year here.

Shrove Tuesday?

Adjusted for pancake proximity? I think not.

Shouldn't it then be House of International Pancakes ?

Shrove Tuesday?

Mmm, I love having pancakes for dinner. Whenever we do that for Pancake Day (which is how it is referred to in our non-religious house) I always say, we should have pancakes for dinner more often. I mean, why not, right? Never happens though. It makes pancake (and paczi) day all the more special though, I suppose.

I actually made pancakes (for breakfast) yesterday, for the first time in yonks. Almost more blueberry than pancake, and they were teh yum. Banana pancakes are best though.
