Sher and I had been running errands, shopping and visiting a winery in Indianapolis, and it was time for a stop for a light supper. We have not been to a Bob Evans since before the pandemic hit, but we knew their menu featured items we both liked.
Extra partitions installed above booth benches for patron separation
The Bob Evans at the intersection of I-65 and Southport Road, just south of Indianapolis, was on our way home. The restaurant was fairly busy, but not packed. Most of the staff wore masks and about half of the customers we saw also were masked up. We watched staff clean a booth in preparation for the next patrons. The effort that went into the cleaning was impressive and very thorough.
Our food was delivered in a short time, and the service was excellent at this Bob Evans location. We did felt safe and comfortable here, and were able to really enjoy our meal and each other’s company.

Looks good. I met a friend for lunch last Friday. The first time I had been inside a restaurant in over two years.

It is still rather strange being “out” again. Glad you were able to break bread with a friend again.

Hope for the best – most of staff was not real encouraging but better than none. Glad you enjoyed.

Wait staff and those in contact with patrons were all masked. Some kitchen staff without. Overall we felt safer than most other places these days.

It’s all good. I have a made up belief that not eating something I crave causes add’l weight loss.

hi both, could I possibly enlist your support linguistically and otherwise: as wine tasters and presumably native speakers of (American) English you will know what I mean: How do describe the divine scent of elderflower to someone without (much of) sense of smell? I am planning to make one of those prose poems out of it but just don’t have the words… thanks very much! 🙂

Barbara we would would love to help, but unfortunately neither of us are acquainted at all with elderflower, aka elderberry. Where we live is not the zone for elderflower, thus we don’t have any. Sorry… Perhaps a google search might help?

thanks for replying; have in the end chosen simply the best words to describe the scent – sweet with a flowery ascending note… or some such; I just wanted to say something more than uplifting – not sure whether I caught it ; the recipient said it meant something/he could relate – so that’s the best I could hope for. 🙂 enjoy your weekend –

I know; it was a bit on the dry side, a live wine testing would have been nicer 😀
