May 30- "chicken-off", Olly in a box, bernese mountain dog, and "socialists"

So the evening before, my friends and I decided to hold a "chicken off"- whereby I bought a pollo brasas chicken from a good place near me, and she got one from Chicken Rico (near her), which I covered last year on PB. We each also got yuca and plaintains as well, to compare. I made a short video of the contest, if you are interested. Yes, that's my nasaly Bawlamore accented voice narrating! ;-)

Went to the Sowebo festival (a neighborhood here called 'Sowebo' for "South-West Baltimore") This post is for Liiisa... Look! Socialists! ;-)

more from the red commies ;-) (kidding!)

beeyootiful Bernese Mountain dog I saw there.

While I was at the fest, Paul bought a branch lopper at Home Depot. Olly obviously thought the long and skinny box was for her. ;-)
