must... finish... decadent... cheesecake...
so today is my birthday, and i'd decided that i hated sticking with the diet so much last year on my birthday that i'd give myself the day off today.
now i have the difficult problem of a piece of very rich cheesecake that i can't just save til tomorrow.
it's funny, when i have sugar and starchy stuff, i get this weird taste in the back of my mouth later, like when i've been in a smoky club and i feel like i have smoke coming out of all my pores and up from my lungs the next day.
dave and i went to IHOP today, which we'd never done before. i dunno, it just sounded good to me-- and he's always up for breakfast food. i had a big ol' grilled cheese and fries, my favorite!
mom and wayne took me to cheesecake factory for dinner; they were able to stick to their diet (the south beach diet, which is, oddly, both low carb and low fat), and i had fun going off of mine. i didn't care for my mojito, however-- it was big and too sweet, and not minty. my mom, who apparently makes excellent mojitos, tried a small taste and agreed that it was no good. shoot, i should have had her go up and teach the bartender how to make one :)

I was going to say that I don't recall ever having a good mojito locally. I've had good ones in Vegas and in Atlanta (at a Bahama Breeze even). But actually Blue Corn, on Ninth Street, did a pretty nice mojito. Not quite minty enough but acceptably pleasant.

i have only had one other one, but it was quite tasty. it was at angus barn, of all places. christa tasted it (or had one herself) and said that it was on up there.
i'm asking my mom for her recipe/method.
