I had suggested to Becky to dine in person at Ambers after picking her up at her home.

  During summertime, I used to travel to California in April or May and enjoy my favorite vegetable—artichokes. However, with no vaccine available to prevent COVID-19, travel was restricted, so we had to find an alternative way to enjoy artichokes.
