I was all ready to make up a pot of spaghetti, and the wife said she wanted Vietnamese or Thai. No cooking for me - I can't make either of those! Thai won out. She had chicken Pot Stickers and Drunken Noodles with shrimp. I had Fish Cakes and Basil Chicken with rice. The fish cakes were fair, everything else was excellent. There was nothing bad or wrong with the fish cakes, just not what I expected - not that I knew what to expect in the first place. They were just kind of blah. Nothing much to them IMHO. I loved my Basil Chicken though. I went for medium on the spice level which was perfect for me. You can order it "no spice", mild, medium, hot or "Thai hot".

"Smoked Subs".

I found a deli that has real "smoked" meats and cheeses. I picked up some pecan smoked turkey, smoked cheddar, tomatoes, red onion, romaine lettuce and some sub rolls. I will also be making some bourbon brown sugar BBQ sauce for them that I will mix in to a little mayo.

I have some cream soda in the fridge.
 
I had uncooked ground beef leftover from burgers earlier in the week, so I ended up making making smash burgers again tonight. Today was the last evening not having strong winds predicted for a while, so I wanted to get the grilling done before that mess starts up. Things are going much easier with the Blackstone now that I've got a few cooks on it completed. Starting to figure out the routines, timings and heat control a little bit.

But oops, I forgot to cook the fries! So we had chips instead.
