For those who don’t know, What the Duck was a photography-oriented comic strip that ran from 2006-2016.  It is now published by Universal Press Syndicate under the name W. T. Duck.  There are a number of sources, but one is GoComics.  I bought this plush W.T. several years ago, and he sits on my desk in this mini beach chair.  He has a twin that hides in a closet somewhere in the house.

A New York Times article (yes, I read a lot of the Times and the Washington Post) about the reopening of restaurants was interesting.  It’s worth the time, as it delves into a lot of the strategy and planning that goes into re-opening a restaurant under strict virus guidelines.  The article states that a restaurant in Atlanta is planning to open Monday, and that “it intends to sell what will likely be America’s first dry-aged porterhouse steak served by a waiter at a white-tablecloth restaurant in the midst of a global pandemic.”

The article goes on to talk about all of the precautions that restaurants will need to take in order to operate safely.  I don’t know about y’all, but that’s not the restaurant experience I want to return to.  I’m getting along just fine without restaurants, thank you very much.  And if going out to eat means “an experience that is more like a trip to the dental hygienist” I think I’ll keep cooking at home, thank you very much!

All this good eating has resulted in a 10 pound weight loss – the last restaurant meal we had was 6 weeks ago today. 🙂
