Received the Sorry Your Favorite Restaurant Closed box

My favorite taco place closed and I found out by driving past. My wife had already ordered this box. The candle smells close enough to make me emotional.

Received the Sorry Your Favorite Restaurant Closed box

The Thai place on my block closed without warning. I drove past and saw a smoothie shop. My girlfriend sent this box. The recipe attempt kit was a noble effort but it confirmed that some things can't be replicated.
