Ooooooo, love custard. Makes the best cones and shakes, IMO.
There are a couple of “I don’t feel like cooking” defaults we tend toward:
1- cheap sushi. A typical commodity level rolls with lots of fake crab and sauces, it’s a quick two min drive (or even a reasonable walk if it’s nice out) and we get the equiv. of sushi junk food: fake crab + avocado with salmon on top, the same with tuna on top, and another with unagi. all with some sort of sauce that isn’t needed, but whatever. it’s tasty. it’s cheap.
2- American Chinese. We used to have a regular spot but it closed :(. Typical order is a general chicken over rice, for me, (sometimes Shrimp/walnut if available) The partner will get a kung pao or chicken/vegetable chow fun. And Rangoons/crab puffs/cream cheese wontons/ whatever they’re called.
There’s a local Fish and Chips place where a 2 pc w/ fries will comfortably feed both of us.
On rare occasions the partner will have a taste for McDonalds, in which case it’s a QP Deluxe w/ Cheese w fries and a sprite , I’ll get a Filet o fish meal with fries and a frozen coke because I love me a slushie…
The usual thai order for ‘generic thai place’ is Shrimp pad thai for me, drunken noodle w/ chicken for her.
i started ordering one captain’s platter with an extra fillet of fish for 3 of us, because 1 order of fish and chips/ 1 captain’s platter (1 fish fillet , 2 fried shrimp, 2 fried oysters and 2 fried scallops and chips) had more than enough chips for all of us. Sometimes I just order the fried fish and fried seafood without the chips, since they don’t travel too well and I don’t need the carbs.

My current take-out order for 2 people at the Keg steakhouse chain is one 14 ounce Prime Rib Classic Dinner with the Caesar Salad option and the baked potato option, a Wedge Salad, an extra baked potato, and a twice- baked potato.
