Writer's Block: Batter up!

I wish I had a local IHOP! The nearest one is a hemisphere over, and I could really go for some right now! IHOP is one of those weird things I really miss from home.
Considering I have IHOP on my mind, I would say one of my favorite pancake meals are their holiday pancake specials: the pumpkin pancakes and cinnamon pancakes for fall and Christmas, respectively. Both of them are so tasty and festive! (Though when neither are in season, I am quite satisfied with chocolate chip or standard buttermilk). I always get the order that comes with two pancakes, two sausages or bacon strips (I usually get bacon), hash browns, and two eggs cooked to order. It's the perfect amount of food for me (I usually go for brunch or lunch) and it's got variety, which is a necessity for me. No matter how much I may like a given type of pancake, I cannot put away more than two or three, and I appreciate having some protein in my meal as well. Plus I just love bacon, eggs, and hash browns (: Viva la breakfast food!
I actually like a variety of pancakes from diverse origins, including crepes (especially with ice cream!), potato pancakes (like latkes or Rosti), and even the little pancake parts of dorayaki. I also like homemade chocolate-chip pancakes or buttermilk with powdered sugar. However, I don't eat pancakes very often and I am more likely to eat them as part of a more substantial meal (or dessert!) than breakfast. They're usually too much for me for breakfast. (As are most traditional breakfast foods. All I want first thing in the morning is just a single bowl of cereal!).
