Of Good Friends and Free Food

Last night Kearsdad and I got to do something really fun, something we don't get to do very often. We went out to dinner with friends. Adult friends. No children. We get to go out as a couple occasionally, but not with other adults. So before I procede...let me express my deep appreciation to Junebug for taking my girls to Pizza Inn last night. That is an entirely different story that will have to be posted by Junebug. This post is about MY dinner.

We went with SUG and Golden Boy and Mr. and Mrs. B to P.F. Changs. Kearsdad and I (and SUG) had never been to PFC. It was REALLY good. We had fun just laughing and talking amongst ourselves, no worries about what children would order, or children being too loud, or children needing more drinks, etc, etc. Just fun grown up conversation over appetizers...for a long time. Actually, a very long time between appetizers and dinner.

We didn't realize how long we had been sitting there because we were so engrossed in our fun conversation, but someone apparently noticed. But the manager, Leon, came to our table and announced that he had noticed how long we had been waiting. Leon apologized profusely, explaining that there had been a problem in the kitchen. Then he proclaimed, "Your dinner will be free." F.R.E.E. Let me emphasize this... we ordered 3 appetizers and each of the 6 of us ordered an entree. Needless to say, we ended up ordering dessert too!!! SUG was especially excited about chocolate cake.

So we had a lovely night out, laughing and talking with good friends, relaxing, eating really good food and to top it all off it was free. We did tip the nice (if slightly goofy) waitress.

Here is what we ordered:
Appetizers-2 orders of lettuce wraps and one order of calamari
Entrees-Chicken with Black Bean Sauce, Chang's Lemon Scallops, Crispy Honey Shrimp, Orange Peel Shrimp, Kung Pao Chicken, and Wok Seared Beef, with brown and white rice.
Desserts-Cheesecake (2 pieces because Golden Boy orded it plain, and it came with fruit stuff on top, so they left it and brought him another), Great Wall of Chocolate Cake, and 2 orders of Lucky 8's.

It was alotta food.
