I had to stop cooking 30 years ago after having my stroke. My husband loved to cook, so he did ALL the cooking. He cooked some wonderfully delightful meals!!! After he died, I tried to get back to cooking for myself & found it more difficult than I had remembered. A great meat & 3 restaurant opened up about ¼ mile from my house, so I started eating there every day. The price is very reasonable, they cook much better than I do, & I have absolutely NO pots, pans, & dishes to wash after the fact. I got to know all the waitresses & got to choose the one that I like best to wait on me almost every visit. She takes great care of me & lets me know the extra special items each day. When the dining area was closed due to the virus, they opened a drive thru, so I still get my delicious meals every day…I just have to bring them home to eat. We’ve set up a system to where I call in my order. As I go through the drive thru, I let down my passenger window & the same waitress sits the bag in my passenger seat. I hand her the exact change + tip, she thanks me, & I drive back home to eat. When I finish eating, I toss everything in my trash can to be picked up with my next garbage pickup.
A friend of mine is manager of a local convenience store & we do much the same when I need a loaf of bread. I pull up out front, she grabs the bread, I give her the money, & she sits the bread in my passenger seat. That way I don’t have to mingle with any of the weirdos that frequent her store.
I live in a really small town & we just had our first confirmed case of the virus last Friday. Although I did ALL the suggested protective things to keep from getting the virus, I felt relatively safe with my system of doing things.
I’ve only been to the grocery store 3 times since this started & that was to get some dog food for my dog & fresh veggies for me to snack on. I must be eating less as I’ve lost 4 pounds since I started self isolating.
