Back on the Grid

Yes, I’ve been remiss in posting, but to be fair I just got back from a much-needed vacation. Had a great time, but frankly nice to be home.

Peruvian (Togolese?) Chicken Opens
Casa De PolloAs reported by several people (and in the sweet spot of SoCo Eats), The “Peruvian” Chicken place Casa De Pollo has opened in the old Roger Miller location. Nice outside seating, but I took this photo Sunday night as I was walking out with delicious takeout from Thai Derm (Chicken Panang and Tofu Pad Thai, if you must know). I may try it because it’s there and supposedly serves some classic Togolese dishes alongside the not-at-all-related-pollo a la brasa. I still don’t get that. But I also said I would go try Roger Miller sometime, and look how that turned out.

On a Less-Exciting Note
I will be on a blogger panel on Thursday of this week as part of the “ReThink Montgomery” Speaker Series from the Montgomery County Planning Board. I have no idea what I’ve gotten myself into, but something is bound to be entertaining or funny – intentional or otherwise. Come for the show, stay for the veal.

About that “off the grid” thing…
This is how I started and ended just about every day for the last week. So yeah, I missed you all, but not that much.

    So you stayed at home? You mean this is not the view from your deck?

    Unfortunately, no. Though now back to the grind, I may put up some large backdrops in the yard with these.

    Thanks, Springvale. :-)
