this would be our new approach at least with carryout. Pre Covid we went out for almost 2/3 of every luncheon and supper. We’ve had rare carryout. I’m fond of saying that I can’t return to a restaurant. I’m not even enjoying carryout now that much - we fetched Thai food that my spouse craved and in hindsight it wasn’t that super. Some big extremes but the new liftstyle of cooking is why we acquired a red retro freezer for the garage.
I definitely can’t justify ever going out for ice cream again. With our 15++ flavors and waffle cones, we are our own parlor!
