Two meals

I'd like to thank the vaccine for making this post possible.

I haven't posted about [instagram.com profile] britshlez in a while, but that's because I really haven't seen her in a while. [instagram.com profile] sashagee feeling so bad in the fall and then the Winter of Isolation meant that we didn't really get out to see anyone, even people that we spent the summer with. But I got my second dose of vaccine over two weeks ago and a bunch of other people got one or two doses as well, so on the first night of Pesach [instagram.com profile] britshlez invited me, [instagram.com profile] sashagee, [twitter.com profile] hillelogram, [facebook.com profile] tom.hen.12, and [twitter.com profile] kjtrujillo over for First Seder in her new home that she bought herself! The seder was somewhat truncated, since we started late, and mostly performed by [facebook.com profile] tom.hen.12 since he's a native Hebrew-speaker, but it was a lovely bit of normality in a decidedly abnormal year.

Last night, [instagram.com profile] sashagee and I joined [facebook.com profile] aaron.hosek at Replay for outdoor dining. Our original plan was to go to Taste of Heaven, but it was closed on Mondays. So were another dozen of the restaurants we checked, and Replay had a giant line, but at least it was open. Though maybe it would have been better if it hadn't been--it took half an hour to get seated, ten minutes for a waiter to take our order, after they brought out the chicken pesto salad I was told that there was no way to remove the cheese from the pesto sauce (not even after I ordered it, they made it and then told me!) so I had to order a sandwich with no bread, and then when the check was finally brought out the waiter forgot the pen! What should have been a nice half-hour meal took two hours and [instagram.com profile] sashagee was nearly dead on her feet by the time it was over, but it was lovely to have dinner together again!

Here's to life getting more and more back to normal as more people get vaccinated.
