The Birthday Trifecta

Have you ever done the birthday trifecta? Neither had I so on my birthday my friend, Terry (she calls herself the "trifecta pro") asked me if I wanted to go to dinner on my birthday and do the trifecta...sure, why not! We met that evening when we both got off work and headed here to the Liberty Market. Liberty Market offers $10 any meal on your birthday, so I showed them my ID and Terry and I both ordered this wonderful pasta/chicken/veggie dish. It cost $12 so mine was just$2...great deal. We sat outdoors and enjoyed the wonderful spring weather we were having and at this yummy meal. We both had about half left over that we boxed up to save for another time (extra meal #1). We then headed across the street to... Joe's BBQ. They also offer $10 off any combination of things that you would want. They have the best lemon cake so we went to the take out window and ordered 2 pieces of cake (1 for now and 1 for later) and a giant baked potatoe with toppings on the side.
No we didn't sit down and eat another meal but we did sit long enough for each of us to have a 1/2 of piece of cake. It is so good. Then we jumped back into the car and headed to Joe's Farm Grill.
If you see a pattern to this it is because all 3 of these eating establishments are owned by the same people and offer these great birthday deals. There at the Farm Grill we stood in a fairly long line but got up front, showed my ID again and ordered a BBq chicken salad that I saved for lunch the next day. Terry is a pro at this! You would think by now 3 freebies would be enough but I had also been told that Krispie Kreme donuts gave out a dozen donuts on your birthday. This trifecta thing was getting under my skin so I decided to give it a try.
Score! On my way home I ran through the Krispie Kreme drive through and they gave me the donuts and didn't even ask to see my ID. Now I am not a hugh fan of Krispie Kreme donuts so those I took to work the next day for all the guys and scored a few more points.
So after about 3 hours and 4 stops I ended up with dinner and dessert and a few things for later. Terry's huband Ken said it wasn't a trifecta, it ended up being a quadfecta. It was alot of fun, thanks Terry! If you would like to read more about the trifecta experience you can go to th pro Terry's blog - Terryandhercrazylife.blogspot.com...just don't believe her when she said I am old as her now...she is MUCH older then me. Humm...now what's for dinner?
