My "Must-Do" List

There are a few things I really want to do while we are in Spokane. One of them is to go to Gordy's Sichuan Café to eat. We been talking about it and finally this afternoon when I went to get meat out of the freezer for supper, I decided I didn't want to cook. I wanted to go to Gordy's!

Gordy's is basically a hole-in-the-wall little place up on the South Hill on 30th. It only has maybe fifteen tables and it's always full -- even on a weeknight. The tables are rather bare. They set them with a napkin, a bowl and a pair of chopsticks. The food is incredible. They've been voted the best Asian food in Spokane several years in a row.

One of the specials tonight was one of our favorites, Smokey Bacon and Cabbage. We had an order of Sesame Prawns for an appetizer, then the Smokey Bacon with a side order of green beans. Of course you can't eat at Gordy's without sharing a dish of ice cream with their signature candied orange chocolate sauce for dessert!

Another Trip to Spokane

September 5, 2012

(I told Forry this morning that I was getting VERY tired of NO connectivity at the ranch... I am sending this from Moses Lake where I have come to get groceries.)

Forry had a referral appointment in Spokane again today, so we headed up shortly after lunch. Dropped our recyclables off at the Spokane Waste-to-energy plant, then off to the doctor.

Another of our favorite places in Spokane is Gordy's Szechuan up on the South Hill. We picked up Son Sean and headed up there for dinner. The special was a wonderful smoked bacon and cabbage dish that was just great. It's a fun place to go. You walk in and there are a bunch of table set with a bowl with a pair of chopsticks and a napkin at each place. Food is served on platters along with a bowl of rice, so you basically fix your own bowl.

We got back to the ranch in time to watch former President Clinton's speech on TV.
