    I’ve definitely slimmed down. Only problem is, those things are so tiny that I’m always hungry. Some gravy would help.

    In the early aughts San Jose had an inspiring range of restaurants: Thai, Vietnamese. Indian. Dosas as big as your head. Kheer! The exception was Chinese, at least Veg Chinese.

    For that reason, S. and I were actually glad when a P.F. Chang’s opened downtown, about six blocks from our apartment. It wasn’t in a mall, the spring rolls and tofu were up to par, and the chain-restaurant vibe was comparatively subtle. The exception was the dessert menu, which couldn’t resist a geewhiz offering: The Great Wall of Chocolate, a staple to this day.

    But hey, if you preferred lighter fare, the Tiananmen Lemon Squares were always reliable.
