Thoughts

In order to try to get the most out of my birthday, we signed up for Hometown Buffet's email club several weeks ago. That way, we could get a free meal because we always heard their weekend brunch was good.

We ended up getting there right at 11am (when it ends). The good part was we only had to pay the cheaper price, but we missed out on the made-to-order omelets and the orange juice.

But the real story here was just how crowded it was. There were huge parties celebrating quincineras, graduations (there was a guy literally getting food in his cap and gown), first communions, and, of course, birthdays.

So, if you're like us and haven't been to Hometown Buffet in a while, then we're just not that cool.
