dmxratedDad decided in the end to come with us to Grandma Ella's two days ago.
Stopped at Baja Burrito. Mom ordered me a couple of soft beef tacos at my request. Planning to order a Surf 'n' Turf bowl next time.
We made it to the house, and ended up waiting until dark to meet Uncle Robby and Cousin Adam at this restaurant called Bull's Head Public House. I ordered an all-natural bison burger (w/ more stuff on it than at Coram Diner), and asked for no guacamole. It came with that anyway, but I was able just to scrape it off the bottom of the patty, and Rob decided to put it on a deep-fried snapper that he ordered.
I also noticed something called Eton mess, which I just recently discovered as an upcoming Food Soul, on the menu's dessert section. I brought that up with the others and asked if anyone could order that for dessert just so I could see what it looks like. Rob ended up doing so, while I initially ordered something called an ice cream cup cake (not a cupcake; it was sold out, and the waitress instead offered me what was a bowl with a block of sponge cake and a scoop of vanilla ice cream, both covered in caramel sauce).
We got back to the house so late that Mom had forgotten to put some waffle batter together. I should have suggested before we even left for dinner when I noticed the time at 7. She offered the next morning to make some when we'd be back home, but at one point, I mentioned it was really about making use of Grandma's specific waffle iron that let's you select whether to stop when it's soft or crunchy. She then specified that she likes it crunchy, hence the mix and recipe she uses, and offered to buy some Aunt Jemima mix instead.

Everyone came over except for Cousin Dennis et al, since Adrian is sick, for Grandma's birthday and what was also supposed to tie Adrian's in. We had quite a feast involving steak on arugula, cheesy rise, garlic toast, some brownies Mom had made, rainbow cookies, marzipan cookies, and a cheesecake.
I had so much sugar that I actually declined on a donut that Mom offered, simply requesting some coffee to neutralize some of that sugar, when we stopped at a Dunkin Donuts gas station primarily for the restroom on our way home.
