Did I mention that Ian and I went to IHOP in Ballston Wednesday night? He had the chicken fingers dinner (surprise, surprise), but I took advantage of the all-you-can-eat pancake special they are running right now through mid-February. For $4.99, I got two eggs, two strips of bacon, hash browns, and pancakes. They started off bringing me two pancakes, and then just because I could, I ordered a refill and they brought me three more. Needless to say, I couldn't finish the last three, but I was really already full after the first two. This is one of the reasons I hate all-you-can-eat places: I feel compelled to do just that!
IHOP isn't the only place for cheap food, though. I forgot to mention last week that I ate in the Kennedy Center Canteen while I was performing with the Kirov Ballet. The canteen is the little cafeteria in the basement for cast and crew. I had a plate of jambalaya that broke the bank....it cost $3.82! I probably should have taken advantage of my cast discount last week—30%—and gone to the Roof Terrace Restaurant. That's their very pricey white-tablecloth place overlooking the river where I've not eaten in decades. There was no sense in spending my entire ballet salary on one meal, though, even with the discount! LOL
