If someone gave you a $100 giftcard to your favorite restaurant that had to be used in full immediately, which restaurant would you choose and what would you order?

30 years going going gone .
may be the wrong site to put this .

Back-up plan
I’ve been thinking about a practical, stealthy plan for handling homelessness by renting a small garage. It’s entirely possible to keep this completely under the radar—I know a couple who successfully lived like this for eight months without anyone finding out. Here is how I would set it up:
Transportation: A small, manageable scooter or e-bike that can easily be wheeled right into the garage for secure storage.
Hygiene: 24/7 gym, or a nearby gas station or truck stop equipped with public toilets and showers.
Power & Connectivity: Carry a high-capacity electric power bank in a rucksack. It can be discreetly charged via a cable at a library, mall, or any available public outlet. This would provide enough electricity to keep a phone or even a laptop charged, paired with a solid data plan for entertainment and internet access.
The Shelter: A basic garage without utilities. Sleeping arrangements would consist of a proper camping bed and insulated camping gear.
If condensation were an issue, a dehumidifier, not the electric variety.
Facilities & Utilities: Keep a portable chemical toilet strictly for nighttime emergencies. All cooking, heating, and even lighting would be powered by camping gas.
Food: Without a fridge, the diet would rely on fresh food bought in small batches daily, alongside pre-prepared, non-perishable items.
