  PS> Nothing sadder than a dead post.  So, here's my Weekend breakfast tip:
  PS> go out to Herndon, VA and eat at the Virginia Country Kitchen on Elden
  PS> St.  They have the most wonderful breakfast specials you've ever seen.
  PS> They alternate every weekend, but some of my faves include: Homemade
  PS> Bananna bread french toast Gingerbread pancakes, fresh raspberry (or
  PS> cranberry) cream cheese french toast.
  PS> 
  PS> Everything is freshfreshfresh, juices as well.  It's a great place to
  PS> wake up to also not too $$.  Just get their early and expect to wait a
  PS> few minutes--there's always a line.

Additional pluses: sit where you can watch the orange juice machine work.  It's
like one of those boardwalk juicers, you watch it grab the orange, split it,
squeeze it and (figuratively) toss the peels over its shoulder.  It's
fascinating.

Hideous minus: the place tends to have a lot of smokers, or did when I ate
there regularly one morning a week.  And it's worse if you complain quietly to
the waitress, because the "solution" is to turn the ceiling fan on, blowing the
smoke back down at you.

Lots of carbs, lots of cholesterol -- it's a wonderful breakfast for a modest
price.
