Yeah, the first time I was in Wisconsin and heard friends order their old fashioned sour with pickled mushrooms I threw up a little bit in my mouth. Plus, in Wisconsin you can get your drinks in to go cups. I was the designated driver that night, and the next morning discovered my car had half empty cups of nasty old fashions left in it.

We're getting Chinese takeout tonight -- egg rolls, cumin lamb, fish filets with ginger and green onions, hot & sour soup and Singapore mai fun noodles.

Dinner was a bust. We added Mongolian beef at the last minute and somehow ended up with two of those and no cumin lamb. Plus we both spaced out and forgot to specify no bell peppers (I have a sensitivity) so I was basically stuck with eggs rolls, fish and rice. :( (Soup too but we saved that for lunch today.)

I can relate with the bell peppers. I can handle a few on a pizza, but a bunch in a stir fry, no way. I always substitute jalapenos or anaheims in any recipe that calls for them.
Side note: Almost every Thai restaurant I've tried in the US uses them in great abundance, whereas I've never seen them once in many many months in Thailand.

Finally, some latkes with guacamole or sour cream and homemade applesauce. Crème fraîche and caviar would have been nice, but we didn't have any in the house.

And Chocolate chip, tahini, halva and cardamom cookies.

That has to be one of the oddest dinner combos have ever read. Lol. Fish and mushroom gravy? French toast?
I have never seen Paella as a take out item....interesting.

Pan fried halibut with simply salt, cracked pepper, and garlic powder.
Sauteed sugar snap peas

I agree, an odd combo, but with the Covid restrictions, virtually everything is now a takeout item.

Lamb kofta with a yogurt and lemon sauce, "Greek salad" and Mexican pita bread. Oh and some grilled halumi, because why not!?

A tortilla, bro. I just didn't have any pita bread so improvised.

pure genius! I didn’t consider using a tortilla! Did it taste pretty similar?

Early dinner tonight will be a birthday celebration for our 8-year old girl. She wanted pizza (what a surprise) so we're going to a local Italian place that still has outdoor dining. It's a rainy day here today, so should be fun :D
