Loc: Within stray mortar fire of DC
Thanks for the sug, khyricat!
There aren't a whole lot of hotels in my area, but you're right, I have heard of certain hotel restaurants offering take-out meals. I'll check around. I just wish I knew my neighborhood better. I spend all of my time in DC, and none of it in MD that I've lost touch with what's available here!
If all else fails, I'm hitting the soup kitchen. They have the best meals, anyway.
Funny story: I volunteered at a soup kitchen for 5 or 6 hours before dinner at a new boyfriend's house. But a wino hocked his dinner on me just as I was out the door. They had some donations in back, so I grabbed some canvas overalls like 6 sizes too big out of the donation pile and headed out. I showered and changed at home, and made it over to the parents' house just in time for pumpkin pie. But I was covered in fleas and didn't know it. Evidently they sanitize collections before handing them out, and I'd missed that little step. (!!!)
Parents' house, my car, and my house had to be de-flead, but I never gave up the reason why. Late to dinner and bringing 300 little friends with me?? Ha, no WAY I was coming clean about THAT. *shaking head*
