It’s Holly

Saturday started off with a celebration - Tairah’s 10th birthday party, where all the children where magically transformed into little Smurfs. There’s only so much of a crap load of 10 year olds that you can take. Needless to say, I stayed for the cake and then I bounced. The cake, a beautiful creation from Coldstone, was Spongebob Squarepants inspired, complete with blue frosting and a pineapple under the sea. Hence, the smurf transformation. I’ve never seen frosting STAIN so bad in my life.

Then it was back to my house, where I met up with Kelly and we watched her new Chappelle DVD and proceeded to our favorite sushi restaurant. Ahh… sushi. Our favorite past time. We go to this place so much, they know us there. I think they fight over our table ’cause Kelly tips really well. Anywho… they all know us. So, I figured it’s about time that we start learning names. Brandon, the manager, came by to check on us. I told him that he has to name a special after me and Kelly with the 4 rolls that we get every time we go in: The Don, The Chronic, the Kitchen Sink, and Slippery When Wet. He said those are the best ones (we know!!). Considering we don’t look at the menu anymore, we’ll have to check it periodically to see if our special is in there. Then our waiter came by (big ups to Juan), and said that Brandon, the manager of the restaurant, would like to buy us dessert. How sweet! I mean, we are regulars… fuck, we’re straight up investors. We resisted to get the one dessert that’s Deep Fried (you’d be proud, Krissi), and opted for the chocolate lava cake with white chocolate gelato ice cream instead. It was hot to death. Now we just gotta dip it in batter and tempura Deep Fry it. Mmm mmm, bitch.

Then it was off to Winstons, where we saw Those Dang Robinsons and dealt with drunk sorority girls all night. Ask Kelly… I was about to punch one of them. Then there was the coked up dude who kept jumping around and “dancing”. Kelly had already been up for 24 hours, she was hurtin’. But the band was off the chain, so she kept saying “Okay, we’ll leave after this song…” “… okay, one more… but after this one we’ll go.” Lies, lies… we stayed the whole set, which I didn’t mind, but I knew Kels was exhausted. They put on a really good show though. We get back to my place around 2, and I tell Kelly to stay at my place ’cause it doesn’t make any sense to drive home 45 miles north. So she does.

… 8 AM…

Kelly: Holly, you can have your bed now.
Holly: Huh?
Kelly: You wanna get breakfast?
Holly: Okay.
Kelly: Let’s go to hash house!
Holly: Okay!

And off to Hash House A Go-Go we Went-went. I’ve heard wonderful things about this place, but had never actually been there, until Sunday morning. There was a little wait, but the host was very nice, and looked really familiar. Turns out we went to the same high school. Small world. He seats us on the patio and our waiter comes and takes our order. Kels gets the biscuits and gravy (surprise, surprise), and I get Andy’s sage fried chicken, benedict style w/ scrambled eggs and bacon smashed potatoes (Yes, i got that for breakfast…. it was on *their menu!!). Then we got an order of pancakes because they sounded good (banana and brown sugar! yum!). Then the plates came….

Holy shit.

It was like eating at Claim Jumper for breakfast. The portions were RIDICULOUS. The plates were so huge, that people would walk past our table and have to walk AROUND THE PLATES that were hanging off the edge. The runners that brought our food were like “Wow, that’s a lot of food.” So everytime someone would pass by me and Kelly would mumble “We didn’t know….we’ve never been here… we didn’t know!!! WE DIDN’T KNOW!!!!!”. Then they’d laugh. This, ladies and gents, was a landmark even in the world of “Saturday and Sunday with Kelly and Holly”… we took food home. We had LEFTOVERS. This NEVER happens… never ever ever, ever ever!

For the first time ever, leftovers are brought home.

Not only did we bring home leftovers… but the bag was about 16 lbs - no shit. 16 lbs of potatoes, biscuits, pancake, fried chicken and eggs. I had to clear a shelf in my refrigerator.

Needless to say, I woke up full this morning (and so did Kelly). So, I highly recommend Hash House, and I highly recommend SPLITTING A PLATE OF FOOD. It’s just too much… but so worth it
