How often do you settle when it comes time for dinner?

The sky was dark and our stove had been dormant for a better part of a week. The idea of cooking after a day of Thanksgiving travel was not particularly attractive.

Dining out felt like too much effort. Getting a pizza delivered during the Chiefs game meant waiting too long. I simply needed calories in under 15 minutes. And that’s how I ended up face-deep in a take-out bowl of pad Thai from Noodles & Company.
