Dining out during Covid

[BarryS]

Barry I will give you this you are entertaining. You call people insecure and accuse them of being like a child. The last post I just read you were calling whole groups of people liars. There you are casting the first stone..... bahahaha.

What would my actions have to do with excusing yours ?

not what I'm saying You're just accusing people of doing something that you do all the time out here. You're casting the first stone. it's all right there because you're on the right side correct? You have the certainty of Osama bin laden. How many other kind of websites are you on like this where you just constantly go out and talk about stuff that has nothing to do with the subject matter? I respond to you on like a lot of the others because I find the argument entertaining sometimes, you know like when there's a slow time at work. But I just find it strange you feel the need to discuss these things all the time. Just be happy with the knowledge at your right and almost everybody else is wrong

Before they told you? Oh okay I got you.

Yes, right away I knew enough to understand that keeping flights from China landing daily without checks and everyone crowding together in Chinatown restaurants for the month, was very bad idea.

Going on the subway or bus with all windows closed and breathing recirculating air, that was a bad idea too.

So in other words if somebody was trying to prevent some cracker from going and beating an Asian with a pipe

I don't see those as equivalent words
or meaning.
There was not even one police report that could be used as an example. There were people who wanted borders closed to flights from China.

I still get takeout. I will assume that you were being sarcastic with saying it was done forever for you but that's fine.

No, I eat better now. It would take paying me well, to lure me back into eating restaurant food.

I know this is where we point out where not everybody got 100% of everything right so therefore we're all equally wrong regarding this issue.....

I wouldn't say so.

Everyone who denies Jesus is wrong . I talk about it because I didn't know any of this myself before 10 years ago. Had I died prior to 2010 I'd have been screwed . Like everyone else . At least in America i heard all my life . I never listened . Until all of a sudden for no reason the lights when on . That's how it is for everyone that Really believes . Sadly more claim to believe then actually really do . Because when you actually believe you get to see what others can't .

Barry, if we can be more discrete and keep this away from religion so the conversation doesn't get closed down, we then abide by the agreements, right?

 

[DaveMatthews]

Is Trump a Christian?

"Sadly more claim to believe then actually really do . Because when you actually believe you get to see what others can't"

You do know I hope that there are medications to help with that problem don't you?

Indiana here. Some restaurants are allowing masked people in line, tables 6' apart no mask while eating. I had covid19 May 16 to Sept 30. So I'm immune. No guilt about eating out, I'm done. Wife has not had it though, can't take her out. I have stopped at a restaurant 20 miles into my commute and had a nice Philly cheesesteak.
My church is closed, we are supposed to treat others like we would like to be treated & that applies to infecting them with a disease that killed 1.1 out of 1000 people in US. My brother attended a party of church friends, caught the disease, was over it in a week. He looks like the blonde tall grandfather with German name. I'm much more native Am than my brother, catch every virus around but my body didn't overreact to virus in my lungs with toxic shock. My native grandfather got through the 1918 flu in France, and both of his brothers. But he died of a bad cold in 1938. I've had antibiotics at end of a bad cold (pneumonia & bronchitis) dozens of times. PTL for pneumonia vaccine, I don't get the bacterial infection anymore.

Gee, I get to play my favorite EBR game! Read the responses/dialogue with BarryS and try to figure out what his delusional content is. I am getting pretty good at it, but won't directly engage as although I'm happy to engage f2f, it's generally my choice to stay out of it in a forum.

As to dining out these days, we've chosen to take a pass due to the behaviour of others. We are both quite competent in the kitchen, and hàve a solid repertoire of dishes we can fall back on when we tire of new things. I do miss certain places that we used to frequent before this all kicked off, and we've done our best to support as many as we can with take-away options.

My wife is immunosuppressed with MS. We have to be careful.

 

[Handlebars]

For starters, we have different names.

Well begun,
Is 50% done.

I think it's great that this whole conversation started with a fellow traveler discussing playing golf and having a bite after

Uh, ok.

Naming is part of the issue core in understanding the gene puzzle. So tree frogs are different from humans, though we do share important traits.

 

[Handlebars]

What do you think the characteristic traits are, of a tree frog, for example?
What do you think the characteristic traits are, of a good covid-times restaurant?

I wouldn't say so.

yeah I think I'm probably eating better now also although you can eat decent at a restaurant. Depends where you go and what you choose. I do look forward to be able to go out and eat or maybe stop for a happy hour drink once in awhile though

Yeah I mean some of us are more like tree frogs than others I imagine but that's all part of the beauty and tapestry of life here on Earth

Who knows Barry maybe you're right? or who knows maybe there's just a certain chemistry in the human brain, a makeup, that makes religion appealing. So it goes off like a light and it seems really real to you, and it is in your brain, but maybe it's really just all of delusion who knows? On the bright side if it turns out you're wrong you we'll never even know you were wrong

Well hopefully you are immune but I wouldn't 100% guarantee it. I guess it depends how bad you got at the first time, usually if you only got a mild case then you might not have had a big enough immune reaction. Either way it only lasts for a certain amount of time according to what I read. Here's hoping you don't get it again or your wife for sure. Can you get a good Philly cheese steak in Indiana? Just asking because I'm in Bucks County in the suburbs just north east of Philly and as I've gone around the country, maybe it's different now, but I never found a good one outside of here and maybe New York. One time me and my buddy were driving across the country and we got the Philly cheese steak at a restaurant in Colorado I think it was alongside i-70 and it was like a slab of steak on a roll....

I got into philly cheesesteak at Harve de Grace MD. A little takeout window in the front of a house. 50 miles from Philly, 10 miles from Aberdeen Proving Ground Army base. I seriously like the green peppers & fried onions, steak is less important to me. I actually eat the chicken version most of the time. But it is rare here, and they call it American cheesesteak. I would hate to lose Highway 55 restaurant, like an American cheesesteak several times a year. Especially in the middle of a 27 mile bike ride. Hwy 55 is a franchise, look around when you are out on the road for a Philly hit.
The clerk that gave me the covid19 (only person nearer than 50' from me that week) wasn't sick, he said 2 months later. Maybe he won't be immune to it. I got it right through a M95 3M 3014 mask. He didn't sneeze. I had 2-3 deg of fever for 137 days, thought I would never get rid of it. My native Am body forgets viruses in a couple of years, I get colds & flu over & over again. I had 3 other 18 hour to 5 day flu bouts this year. If covid19 infects me again I imagine the duration will be more 1 to 5 days.

The commonalities are numberless both ways, between us and tree frogs and between us.
So it comes down to differences, like in the Punnett square.

mmm... that reminds me. With roasted Red Shepherd peppers and fried onions.
I bought a couple of cases of the Red Shepherds on sale, roasted 'em, and froze little packets up.

 

[Handlebars]

What are some characteristically distinct traits of good covid-times restaurants?
For example, because this is specifically about covid times, having washrooms that are open and are sanitized might count a lot as a trait, whereas in the good old times they were taken more for granted usually.

 

[harryS]

Philly Cheesesteak is too much obvious fat for me to eat. I'll take my fat via the Chicago Combo, which is italian beef with a char-grilled italian sausage on itlaian bread. "Wet", which means they dipped it in the au jus sauce. Still not going to risk catching a virus for it.
