Peruvian (Togolese?) Chicken Opens
As 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.

I’ve seen Brad Pitt in the recent tabloids, so I’m pretty sure he’s not hanging around the Spring. Maybe it’s one of the smaller Jolie-Pitt people? They’d fit better in the container of prunes. (Yes, we have prunes in our household, and no, they’re not for me.)

And if you look through the listing by community, Silver Spring has one of the highest number of local blogs registered outside of DC proper. Go Silver Springs!
