My whole life I never thought I could order the fancy entree at a restaurant (you know, the one sequestered in it's own little dedicated box on the menu). Well guess what? You CAN. No one is stopping you. Sure, the bill might be a little much, but realistically you'll forget all about it by the time your credit card payment is due and it won't make a difference. So go ahead. Order it. It's probably really good. You deserve nice things, and this is one of them.

🍽Once upon a time, in another life, all I invested what little money I had was in weed and cheap alcohol and clothes I don’t wear anymore and I can’t remember what else.
Now I often focus on treating myself (with a friend) to a restaurant outside of our pay grade that we bookmarked off ig reels and everyone there is 5-50 years older than us.
I’d rather spend $$$ on delicious wine and fire pasta or afternoon tea or a bougie burger etc. etc. at a place I’m not destined to run into someone I’d rather not run into. Embrace giggling the whole time at how perfect the butter and focaccia was and constantly overly-reassuring each other spending this much on a dinner we won’t ever forget is a perfectly valid expense on a biweekly paycheck. We deserve it. Even if we have to split it into 4 payments via the chase app.
Some people throw hundreds a month or week into alcohol, coke, ketamine, weed, and the likes. To each their own. So I refuse to feel too guilty when I get the bill and it’s equivalent to 3-4 hours of labor, if I enjoyed every bite and I’m a little tipsy off Pinot. Everyone has their vices, and suddenly mine is a $18 dessert.

🥘I know, I know, everybody knows that already! But for the first time in my life, I just went to a restaurant alone and that fucking slaps! I can look on my phone without feeling guilty, order what I want without feeling weird to be the only one ordering a soup in advance and I don’t have to talk to anyone. I just vibe and eat and look around on a Thursday afternoon. That’s the fucking dream!

A restaurant we really like is closing in August so we’re trying to squeeze in a couple more meals between now and then. We’d always been curious about ordering caviar from the menu, but never felt like it was the right time. Turns out, Friday night was the moment for caviar. Nothing better than ordering a dish that comes with it’s own utensil (hello mother of pearl spoons).
Is it practical to eat caviar regularly? Absolutely not! But ordering decadently is a welcome reminder that you can’t take it with you, restaurants won’t be around forever, and you can spend your precious coins on whatever your heart desires.

😃Sometimes it's kinda nice to walk into a room/event/function and think "what the hell is wrong here???"
