Zoom into your favorite restaurant …How great would it be to plan dinner and drinks with the girls for Friday night, or a romantic date night at an actual restaurant? We are all missing those events, but DoorDash might have the solution. To give your next virtual get-together a more out-on-the-town feel, they’ve created Zoom backgrounds that look like popular chain restaurants. They’ve even made playlists to add to the ambiance for each background. Get the backgrounds and playlists at The Lunchroom on the DoorDash site, and choose from restaurants including The Cheesecake Factory, Outback Steakhouse, Chili's, Buffalo Wild Wings and more. If you’re feeling really fancy you can even place an order from one of these restaurants so you and your virtual guests get the full experience. (Delish)

Slim Chillers skinny freezers are back in stock at some Costcos, and there is a new line of wine pops with flavors like Orangeberry Mimosa, Black Pomegranate Sangria, Strawberry Grapefruit Rossini and Peach Mango Bellini. The pops are 114 calories each and have 8% alcohol. You can also order the wine pops – as well as the other boozy skinny freezers -- at SlimChillers.com. (Delish)
