Wow, plexiglass. I haven't seen that here at all, but I'm sure there are a few places that have it. I'm glad you got your first indoor dining in!
We had a reminder of how different the rules are from place to place last week, and have a greater appreciation for the adjustment it will take to get back to normal. Although we've been eating indoors off and on for a while now, we were in Wisconsin where masks are encouraged but not mandated. Walked into a place to get a burger for lunch, and no one was wearing masks. Didn't need one to walk in, servers weren't wearing them, and so forth. No different than pre-pandemic. We're mutant
half-vax right now. It spooked us a little just because it was so different than what we've been used to for the last year. I'm sure it was completely safe as it wasn't crowded, but it made us aware of what we've begun to see as normal. Of course, there are a couple practices I'd love to continue, like strangers staying 6 feet away from me
.
That said, the burgers were very good!
Last night, beef fajitas. Tonight, chicken (probably grilled) and I'm going to attempt to turn some leftover potatoes into a vinaigrette-style potato salad with bacon.
