I don't see why take out food should be a problem so long as the staff
are covid free and taking precautions. The main problem with
restaurants is the close quarters and close contact with large numbers
of people.
 
 
On a related note I was in a grocery store yesterday to get some fresh
fruit and vegetables. I noted that the woman who was stocking the
cucumbers was wearing gloves. Then I happened to notice her cought
into her gloved hand and continue handling the produce.

The problem is that we don't know if someone is covid 19 free or not. We don't know how many people have it. We can't even give an accurate count on how many it's killed. This virus is a most magnificent, beautiful, and perfectly-realized, creature.
 
On a more practical matter, how do we handle the dead?

Paper towels, toilet paper, laundry, and dish detergents don't spoil nor do
they need refrigeration. I've got a large supply of all and bought when on
sale or I had a coupon.

I generally use onion, too. And fresh jalapeno if I have it.

I was forced into using mayo today for the grilled cheese. I had no
soft butter. It was fine, didn't really taste different and browned
more evenly.

My mother sometimes used mayo (jarred mayonnaise, not home-made) for
toasted cheese sandwiches. When I was a kid she used margarine/oleo
because butter was reserved for "holidays".
 
I've found a drizzle of olive oil with a little butter heated in a
fairly hot non-stick skillet is the best way make an excellent toasted
(some would call it grilled) cheese sandwich. Melt the butter in the
oil until slightly bubbly then add a nice slice of bread. Top with a
slice or two of good cheese. Top with another slice of bread. Cook
until browned on one side. Use a wide spatula to turn it and brown the
other side.
 
No need to spread anything on the outside of the bread and assemble the
sandwich first, which is the method I grew up with and always found a
bit messy.
 
To answer your question, Ken, mayonnaise never grabbed my attention when
it comes to making a really good toasted/grilled cheese sandwich. YMMV.

I've heard of it before but I haven't tried it either. I just always
reach for the butter. But, if you have any sliced pepperoni on hand
shingle about 9 slices, more if you want, on top of the cheese or even
between the slices of cheese. Toast as usual.

In a pan I'd do it your way but I have a griddle that closes down on it
to heat from both sides. The may is simply a fat for toasting the bread
better. The best part is the cheese that leaks out. I like fried cheese.

I am not rejecting the idea of mayo, but for quite a while now I have
been using a little olive oil to make my grilled cheese sandwiches.

I like the fried cheese aspect. :) I have an electric non-stick
"sandwich press" that closes down like that and browns top and bottom
equally. In that instance probably the bread would need to be
buttered/mayo'd or oleo'd on the outside. I don't find much of a need
to use that sandwich press.
 
Ken didn't mention how he was going to cook the grilled cheese sandwich.
He was asking about mayonnaise and my answer is still no thanks,
tried it and not a huge fan of it on grilled cheese. I suggested an
alternative cooking method. That's it. :)

by gosh you are right. And that was a critical part of the situation.
They didn't have me fooled for a minute, but that poor woman didn't seem
to understand that the fact that they were men, NOT, woman, was a big
part of the show. I am admittedly bad at on screen editing, but I am in
touch with the concept of suspension of disbelief.

Got a lot of Drag Queens around where you live?
 
What do you think about female actors playing drag queens? Kathleen
Turner was on the TV series 'Friends' as Chandler's father who was a
drag queen. I seriously doubt Kathleen Turner is actually a drag queen.
She plays rolls as they come along. Oh wait, so do drag queens. For
a lot less money.
 
I'm not sure where you run into all these gay men with fru-fru voices.
Or drag queens. Maybe you need to consider moving. I'll add a wink ;)

paper and smoked brisket.
 
Here's an article about a man who said corona virus was a political
ploy. He's dead now. Of corona virus.

Actually, it does! they work close together on the production line with
nothing in the way of N-95 masks and equivalent protection.

They could wear all that stuff at work, but then they go home to their
crowded apartments.
