a luxurious dinner at home

Since our retirement life started, we have saved our money or controlled our budget more strict. So we seldom have dinner outside, or also lunch.
However, this emergency situation brought a "enjoyable" change.
"We" have a favorite French restaurant, and we were regular customer.
It is very special that both of us like the restaurant.
And unfortunately it is a little bit expensive, so since Yuki retired we didn't visit there, but we ordered special set for our New year as usual. So we might become an annual customer for them but anyway the owner of the restaurant and we know each other very well, because since we knew each other, more than 10 years passed.

Now most of restaurants are in trouble, and many of them started take-out system, and some of them started delivery system.
The restaurant also started delivery system, but at least more than for four people.
I asked him if we order dishes for two of us, provided we take them by ourselves.
He was willing to accept our offer.

I couldn't show all dishes.
The plates were the restraints'.
The dish and the plates brought us wonderful and luxurious atmosphere even though we were at home.
We had to go there twice to take them, and to take back the empty plates. But we could talk him directly. It was also nice.
Additionally, this dinner costs lower than we have it at the restaurant.  We don't need drink, sweets and drink. Or, I can say, "Yuki has to put up with no expensive wine, i habe to put up with no high quality sweets and coffee" So Yuki enjoyed a bottle of (cheap) wine at home. I baked bread, and made jerry as dessert.
