Okay, so let me tell you about yesterday. It was one of those days, you know? Got back home pretty late, feeling totally run down. Just wanted to collapse on the sofa, honestly.
I looked towards the kitchen and just sighed. The thought of chopping stuff, getting pans dirty, and then cleaning up afterwards? Nope. Absolutely not happening. It was instantly clear: togo food was the plan. Had to be.
Figuring Out the Food
So, I plopped down and grabbed my phone. Started scrolling through the usual apps and menus I’ve got bookmarked. What felt right? That’s always the big question.
- Maybe some pizza? Nah, felt a bit too heavy.
- That burger joint? Did that a couple days ago.
- Sushi? Tempting, but maybe a bit pricey tonight.
Ended up deciding on my go-to comfort food spot, the little Thai place just a few blocks away. Their Pad See Ew is usually pretty solid. Picked up the phone and gave them a quick call. Placed my usual order, asked for it medium spicy. They told me it’d be about 20 minutes. Perfect.
The Pickup Mission
Grabbed my keys and wallet, headed out the door. The drive wasn’t long, thankfully. Parking, though? Always a bit tricky around there. Found a spot eventually, maybe a short walk away. Went inside the restaurant. It smelled good, like spices and stuff cooking. There were a couple of other people waiting around too.
Stood there for a bit, just looking around. Watched the cooks in the back doing their thing. Looked busy. Checked my watch. Felt like time was crawling ’cause I was getting pretty hungry.
Got the Goods
After maybe 10 minutes or so, the person at the counter called out my name. Went up, paid the bill, and they handed over the plastic bag. Felt nice and warm. Success! Walked back to the car, making sure not to swing the bag too much.
Got home, kicked off my shoes, and went straight to the kitchen counter. Unpacked the containers. Looked and smelled fantastic. Didn’t even bother getting a proper plate, just grabbed a fork and dug right in, standing there. Man, it tasted good. Sometimes, just getting some simple togo food is exactly what you need after a long day. Way better than dealing with cooking and dishes, I tell you.
