So fun! I love indoor dining, both with and without service. Such a nice delight.
We haven’t yet been asked about the vax card. Is it a local rule? I guess I should bring mine when I go to IL - I got mine laminated.

It was soooooo good!!!!!

Now I just finished it off with 3 Pepperidge Farm Thin & Crispy Toffee Milk Chocolate Cookies. My left arm is so hurting right now.
yum - very yum
Yay for vax
it’ll get better. Promise :-)

Great! It looks like Chicago will "reopen" with the rest of the state next week. We'll see how close Phase 5 is to normal though.
Showing the card is disappointing. I respect the restaurant/bar's right to require it, but I'm not planning on carrying mine. We're going to brunch in River North tomorrow, assuming they let us in I guess.

Hopefully, you made a copy of the card first, and laminated that. If you need a booster shot, it can’t be recorded on a laminated card.Laminate the copy and carry that with you. Leave the original home.

No vCard here. C’mon down. Fl is open for business.

I keep telling Mrs BV that half of us are vaccinated, and half of the other half will lie and say they are.

I didn't even realize that was a thing in some states. No card needs to be shown for any dining here either...but get your vax anyway!!

It's not the law, but restaurants are free to set their own conditions. The colleague in New York told me that he went to a place this weekend where they required your vaccine card to seat you at the bar. I am happy to have places requested and require it as a condition to be seated inside, anything that persuades more people to get vaccinated is a good thing!

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Would they ONLY let people inside with a card? Or was it show a card or wear a mask? I have no problem with the latter. Every business has the right to set a dress code. As Jeff Spiccoli said "no shoes, no shirt....noooo dice". It's quite another to deny service based on not carrying a card IMO. And I am vaccinated for what it's worth. What card will they require next? Anyway, probably bordering on an OMNI topic, so I'll just leave it at that.

You had to show a card to dine inside. We walked in and stopped to talk to the owners, who promptly said, we're all vaccinated and can take off our masks. So we did. We sat at the bar, which does not have plexiglass, and did not wear our masks. So it felt like a normal experience sitting at the bar and eating dinner. The bartender was wearing a mask.

Edited to add, this is a pub that closed its dining room last March, and throughout the winter only offered outdoor dining. They were very cautious and very thoughtful, and are taking appropriate cautions now that they have opened up their dining room.

At least until 13 June , we are not even allowed to dine in , only “ take out / to go “ and mask on at all times unless one is eating or exercising like cycling , running ..

And only 2 visitors allowed at home any day . Figuring out which 2 can get interesting !

We home cooked a nasi lemak meal

Otah / otak ( like a steamed fish pate / terrine )

Fried chicken wings , kang kong ( water spinach / water convolvulus ) , fried peanuts & onion omelette

Chicken breast , fried ikan bilis ( dried anchovies ) and tuna bergedel ( tuna potato patties )

Most of the nasi lemak with bunga terlang ( butterfly blue pea flower ) spread .. with the blue coconut rice at top of table and our Nonya chap chye lemak with tumeric recipe closest to camera

That's an interesting take on otah. I actually have a place in mind next time I am in town... Victor's vegetables. Quite a few people are recommending the otah otah from there.

Turned two leftover pork roasts (one I had frozen a while back) into pulled pork. We had it on toasted buttered brioche buns with chips and home made pickles.

I made guacamole tonight, and used some to make avocado toast with a sliced hard boiled egg for dinner. Some spring mix on the side, and two Sweetwater IPAs.

We were lazy last night so went back to the pub for dinner at the bar. Neither of us were starving so split a chicken wing appetizer and fish & chips entree.
