Short stuff
It’s funny how some chain restaurants are notorious while others get a free ride. The other day we went to the Original Pancake House, which is the kind of place that earns honorary non-chain status from its fans. Although, looking at their web site, I see that although it now boasts 90 locations, it started in Portland, Oregon, so maybe the one we went to when I was a kid was the original Original.
Also noted on the web site: a prominent link that says WHAT ARE PANCAKES?
Anyway, my mom was taking us to the pancake house, and Iris was very excited. I’d been talking about ordering a short stack.
Mom: Iris, what are you going to eat at the pancake house?
Iris: A short stack!
Laurie: How about some blueberry pancakes?
Iris: No, just a blueberry short stack.

Next time you visit northern CA, we will pass up Biba for Pancake Circus and Iris can have a Blueberry Short Stack Circus.
