It's a sad day, when Coco's expires your favorite spinach, mushroom, and swiss cheese omelet, while Ihop follows suit and expires your favorite chili omelet. While the saddest day of my life, is when my favorite breakfast place shut it's doors, and I knew my life would change forever for the worse. Read more . Not to mention, when Knottsberry Farm sold it's bakery. The icing on their cakes where NO WHERE TO BE FOUND, and tears crossed my mind, but refrain, because tuff girl's don't cry. I mean Karma is a thorn, because Darrell and I forgot to put the burger in grandma and grandpa Knott's burger. They chuckled and asked if we kids were trying to tell them sumpin. It's Darrell fault's. Why? He's just that way - forget he's cooking and stuff goes missing - odd how that is. Wonder if that is why his dad had to SUPERVISE US in the main kitchen, cuz I am super at it, and Darrel - you have to kick him around some to get going. Sure miss my monthly ration of Knott's jams and jellies (all boysenberries) - my favorite, you know. Ingredients:
