We had a wonderful leisurely dinner with the group.

I guess that&#8217;s inflation for you.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s a picture that I found from our last visit to P.F. Chang&#8217;s\u2026 The photo was taken on August 3, 2012 when I was almost 15 lbs lighter than I am now. Man, those were the days! I&#8217;m going to have to stay away from P.F. Chang&#8217;s even longer if I ever hope to drop back down to that weight\/size again.
