Today I am in DeKalb County, which is part of the Atlanta metropolitan statistical area. The county was named for Baron Johann de Kalb, a Bavarian-born soldier who fought and died on the side of the Americans during the Revolutionary War.
The twin goals of the day are to rest and to eat.
The eating starts with a trip to IHOP for pancakes. No further explanation necessary.
Next, a visit to a new branch of the DeKalb County Public Library. I read part of Porter Bibb’s biography of Ted Turner, titled It Ain’t As Easy As It Looks. He reportedly told his second wife, “Business comes first. My boat comes second. You come third.” That marriage lasted 24 years.
Next, a trip to Great Harvest Bread Company to purchase two loaves of bread. Great Harvest is the breadquarters for my visit. This bread will be served for the next three days.
For dinner we tried a local restaurant named Eduardo’s Mexican Grill for the first time. It was fabulous. I ordered the enchilada dinner with four different varieties of enchiladas – beef, chicken, cheese and bean. I loved them. The portions were large and the prices were small.
