During the holidays, and thanks to the crazy weather, there were mornings where I woke up to the falling snow and, as a result, almost imprisioned in my apartment. As mentioned previously, whenever I have a bit too much time… Anyway, on one of the nights, after listening to the weather forecast, which called for snow next morning, I started planning next day’s breakfast. For the record, for this meal, I usually have cereal, fruit and (soy) milk. But, for a change, I wanted something special. That’s how I came up with the idea of making crêpes.
Before I continue, there is this “background” question, why crêpes and not pancakes? The answer is… I don’t know! Well, actually I do. I find pancakes a bit generic; in fact, if I *really* wanted pancake, I would just go to MickeyD’s and get it from their breakfast menu. However, this argument has a flaw (or at least here in Vancouver): If I wanted crêpes, I could as well go to one of the many Cafe Crepe here. In the end, I guess crêpes have a certain je ne sais quoi…

After the late night meal referenced in yesterday’s post, I have been searching for decent places for such meals. One of the places near where I live is Top’s Restaurant.
OK, I went there for lunch rather than late night but, hey, I wanted to make sure it was a viable option before I actually needed to go there!

A couple of months ago, I was in Baltimore due to work reasons… And, yes, as you can guess, I was there once again! Unlike my last visit, this time, I had a better idea of my surroundings and what would be my “walking distance” limit; so, that gave me a better opportunity to plan my meals. Just like last time, I will start with my breakfasts…

In addition to my dinner with FYZ and WS, we also had breakfast on my last day in Chicago. Again, I asked for a place they would suggest, rather than asking for a particular cuisine. After all, I was still dazzled by the options! Anyway, here is where we ended up going.

Oh, well, here I go again… For work reasons, I went to Merrillville, Indiana. (Of course, I can’t disclose who/what). Just as with my last trip to Baltimore, here are my breakfasts…
Since the departure time of my flight was around 10:50 a.m., I arrived at the airport just before 9:00 a.m., just in time to grab something from Tim Horton’s, their Breakfast Sandwich with Sausage (Egg, cheese, sausage in a “homestly biscuit”).
I must say I am a fan of this sandwich. Sure, it might not be the best/healthiest option available but, hey, it tastes good!

Finally, part 3 of this serie. You can find the other two parts below:
I spent four nights in Baltimore, which translates into four breakfasts. I would have counted the one I had in YVR but it was just a scone from Starbucks. Not really worth talking about it… Anyway, since I was in a constant rush, I could only stop in places nearby and something that would have been prepared in a couple of minutes. At the same time, I wanted to avoid MickeyD’s… So, I ended up going to these places:
