Playing bridge with friends has been a savior during COVID. I currently play multiple times a week with these friends instead of only occasionally.
One of my groups decided to take a road trip to our friend’s home on the Cape. Was beyond a treat to be together, play, shop, laugh, sing, prepare meals and play bridge. No cards involved, we each played on our devices sitting near each other on opposite couches.
Almost every time I’ve vacationed on the Cape since the 70s, I’ve stopped at Baxter’s — a casual eatery built over the water — for fried fish.
The vegetarian in our group tried the fried mozzarella sticks ($8) along with a garden salad ($9); another had the Greek salad with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, kalamata olives and feta cheese topped with chicken ($20) while a couple of us indulged in their fried seafood — what they are known for. One had the fried oyster plate ($26) served with French fries and homemade coleslaw, I had the fried scallop plate ($27), which was good — although not as good as usual. That seems to be typical of COVID dinning, something we’ve all gotten used to. Service was attentive though!
The best part was being together eating with my friends.
