Last week I asked Tony what he wanted for his birthday dinner. He chose a nearby Greek restaurant that recently opened. I would have gone wherever he wanted, but Greek food always sounds good to me.

(Two days after my positive antigen test I am feeling better. My only remaining symptoms are a slight scratchy throat and a runny nose/post nasal drip cough, but the most current guidelines say that I should stay home until at least 24 hours after my symptoms are better, and any fever is gone. I think by tomorrow I should be good to go out masked up.)
Yesterday I realized from a Facebook ad that the restaurant was having it's Grand Opening today. Their big promotion was a Chicken Gyro dinner with chips and a side for $5. I was afraid the dining room might be overwhelmed, but Tony wasn't concerned. Our original plan was to eat in the restaurant. Plan B was to order online, but I found out system wasn't functioning. Plan C was for Tony to walk into the restaurant and order.
I drove with him to the restaurant and sat in the car while he went in. In addition to the dinners, he also got a salad to share and two pieces of baklava.We came back home and ate our food at the dining room table, just like we did back in 2020 when everything was shut down.
Five years ago today: No Problem
Happy Birthday to Tony! I hope the new Greek restaurant food was good!
ReplyDeleteIt was.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to Tony. And I am glad to hear that you are on the mend.
ReplyDeleteOH I do envy you the restaurant. We have nothing even close to Greek food nearer than an hour's drive.
ReplyDeleteA bit of a bummer to have to eat in, but at least you can eat and are recovering. I am glad to hear you say you will mask; we struggle to make some of us understand that a mask is a gift to keep others healthy. Hard to get that across, sometimes.
I am a rule follower :-)
DeleteGlad you're feeling better, and thank you for being so responsible and careful not to spread Covid. The Greek food sounded tasty.
ReplyDeleteBaklava is good at any time. Try it with Ouzo. God bless.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like an interesting combination.
DeleteI do like Greek food! All the best, glad you are on the mend.
ReplyDeleteBelated happy 🎂birthday wishes to Tony and hope you both enjoyed the new eatery. Also glad to read that you’re feeling better, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteGlad you all were able to at least enjoy the Greek food even if you were not able to go to the restaurant to eat. Baklava is always so good.
ReplyDeleteI know there are a lot of Greek desserts, but in my mind if baklava is on the menu it's the only one I consider.
DeleteWhat a shame you were unwell - hope you're feeling better - but a great way to celebrate anyway!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Tony. Stay strong, stay well.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Tony. I'm glad you aren't feeling worse.
ReplyDeleteOh that looks so delicious! You could have worn your masks, to set that 2020 mood just right! I still have a bunch of super colorful and strange ones too, from the 2020 era.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't thought about wearing a mask into the restaurant, darn it!
DeleteHappy birthday to Tony. Greek food sounds good. Hopefully you could taste the food as some lose the taste sense.
ReplyDeleteI've had no issues with my taste buds.
DeleteIs Paxlovid an option for you? I hear it leaves a bad taste but is effective at keeping worse symptoms at bay.
ReplyDeleteOh - and this is Ellen from www.mocklog.com
DeleteI was only 'sick' for 48 hours. The rest of the time has been making sure I wasn't contagious.
DeleteThis was very thought-provoking as it took me back five years to when we were all experiencing this.
ReplyDeleteOn one hand, 2020 feels like a very long time ago. On the other hand, it just happened.
DeleteHappy Belated to Tony! ooh you had me at baklava! Glad you are feeling better Kathy.
ReplyDeleteIs filo dough gluten free?
DeleteSounds like Tony got his wishes for his birthday in spite your situation. My sister in law has Covid too right now. Glad you are starting to feel better.
