For me, it’s just the carefree idea of « let’s go out for supper tonight! » without worrying whether it might be life-threatening.
Exactly this.

I miss the combination of room service/carry-up meals from hotels and pre-loading for a concert. I can still order room service/carry-up, in fact I did so last week, but finishing a bottle of wine with a better-than-average meal and getting psyched for some live music was pretty fun. My happy place was doing this when Nick was still showing Sponge Bob during the late afternoon/early evening, as buzzed is the proper way to see Sponge Bob.
Surprisingly, since we’re in rural Ohio, we had a really good Hibachi style restaurant open a few years back in town. On several momentous occasions through the year, all of the local family members would get together and we’d do the whole Hibachi style dinner show. The restaurant is still open (and serving sushi, thank Og), but sadly only for carryout. I miss being able to gather up the family (me, Mom, Older sister and her family, Older brother and his family) and treat them all to a great meal out.
