I’m sorry Wendy. That sucks. The house cleaning would have been so nice!!
MG – I love Goosefoot! I went with the husband ages ago and would love to go again with a big group so we could better match wine to courses. I’ve also done Band of Bohemia, Jeong (I still think about the salmon dish) and Elske (the tasting menu was average, ordering off menu is divine). I read about the controversy. Nick came out and supported their decision so I doubt that’s it. I’m so curious though!
Have fun at Shaw’s and Andy’s!!! Enjoy.
I’ve decided that for us, the universe is legit telling us to stay home. I’ll listen for now.
I’ve lost the will to patio.
They said we could get in at Next, but I’ve done that. Granted the menu was different but it’s indoor. Pass. Maybe I’ll just wait for Curtis Duffy to open his next restaurant. I love him.
Welp, Alinea canceled reservations tonight. The reasoning is that they couldn’t provide the service we would expect. I suspect a staff with Covid or problem with food vendor. But who knows.
The universe has spoken. It does not want us to dine out.
Our last time trying we canceled because Of rain.
@alafair, that is so gross. About the dude. Yuck.
I’m glad you’re on the mend and I hope it gets better every day.
@hfan, I say try it if you’re comfortable doing so. I am sad restaurants are struggling.
We’ll mostly stick to carry out at local establishments, but will likely check out a secluded patio hear and there.
I’m wearing a dress that I bought for our April Hilton Head trip that has been sitting in my closet for months!! And I bought some new makeup because I haven’t really used mine since late February!!
We did the Alinea take home for my friend’s 40th. I’ve done some of the high end tasting menus here, including Next, but haven’t been to Alinea proper. I guess I’m still not going to Alinea proper.
That does seem tone def, but I do know they’re taking Covid seriously so I’m not sure what it’s about. I’ll report back.
@LadyE, I 100% wouldn’t attend. I’m glad you’re not.
We were going to try our first patio dining experience a couple of weeks ago, on a Friday at 3:00 pm at a place that was reservations only and we heard that was taking distancing seriously. We were rained out and didn’t go. I wasn’t totally sad about it. I was nervous to go.
Then the husband jokingly sent me a link to AIR: Alinea in Residence. Alinea is Chicago’s top restaurant. Or one of a few. They are renting out a rooftop space about a 10 – 12 minute walk from our condo and trying this new concept. He didn’t think I’d bite. I did. We’re going tomorrow. It’s not cheap. But since all our travel for the forseeable future is canceled, we can make this work. They even tell you to arrive right on time because they’re making the temperature taking an experience when entering.
I’m nervous and excited.
@Fyodor, popping in to wish you well. I’m sorry the visit home was rough and I’m so sorry about your mom. I’m glad you got to visit your dad.
Truly, it doesn’t matter what we think is reasonable. Every couple has their own comfort levels.
And yes to what Kate said. Hanging out in bars and big groups in bars is irresponsible right now.
Look Amber regardless of what we think is “normal”, this is your husband’s normal. You either need to accept that this is who he is and this is how he prioritizes his life or you move on. IT’S TRULY THAT SIMPLE.
And I will tell you that there is no “normal.” Personally, I wouldn’t be happy if my husband behaved like yours (spending multiple days a week / texting all day every day with friends) REGARDLESS OF GENDER. And this is coming from someone who is extremely independent.
Truth @Fyodor.
@Copa, the boyfriend needs to start running interference with his mom. That’s annoying. If my MIL ever asked me about kids or anything, I would have told the husband to shut that down immediately. Actually, I don’t have a problem with shutting it down.
Just stop responding. Continue on with your conversation as is she said nothing.
This is who she is. She wants people to react and feel sorry for her. It won’t change. So don’t react.
