This is what a typical plate of Fish & Chips looks like. Usually, the fish is a battered fillet of cod deep fried with French fries on the side. It could be a full fillet, or "longish" pieces of the fillet. Either way, the taste of the fish should be mild.

But first....
I hadn't been out of the house since Friday night. And I knew I had to go out to shop for groceries, so I could have lunches for the week. So it was into the shower, where I decided to go out as Marian - first to a diner for a bite to eat, and then to the supermarket to pick up food.
When I arrived at the diner, I noticed that it was relatively empty. Gone were the (pre-covid) usual group of baked goods on display. The menu no longer had items which required the work of a full kitchen staff. Instead, it was limited to things that even a beginning short order cook could prepare. Too bad that I didn't choose a simple burger and fries. From what I could tell, they had run out of cod, and substituted another fish in its place. And it didn't fit my idea of what fish and chips was supposed to be. So, I made the decision to avoid this place for a while, and see what happens when the pandemic ends.
After dinner, I decided to go to Stew Leonard's to pick up food. Luckily, this time I had my recycled bags with me - and I was able to get in and out of the place quickly. There's not much to say about a visit to Stew's, save that I usually spend too much there.

As you can see, this was a weekend where I accomplished nothing. And nothing was good enough for me. Hopefully, I'll have more energy next weekend, as there are many things I need to do....
