Easy Does It.


I went shopping for Thanksgiving dinner today. It was very busy and by the end of my shopping I didn't feel like cooking. I made a stop by the deli counter on my way to the checkout and picked up some macaroni salad and the fixin's for Reuben sandwiches.
I love Reuben's! I make mine with hot mustard instead of the traditional Russian dressing. You can use your favorite rye or pumpernickel bread. Just spread one side of the bread with mustard or dressing, layer thin slices of Corned Beef with Swiss Cheese, and put a layer of well drained sauerkraut in the middle. I like the Bavarian style sauerkraut best, it's a little sweeter. Once you have assembled your sandwiches, spread the outsides with butter or margarine and toast in a skillet until heated through. These are also great on a Panini press. Quick and easy to fix and even easier to clean up, what a deal!

Wow--while that does sound like a tasty and easy way to make a reuben--even your "I don't feel like cooking" is gourmet!!!You
make it sound very easy--I like that--keep up the good work and I can't wait to hear what is for Thanksgiving!! We are having cornish hens this year. Something a little different--They are also
opening the local ski area on Thanksgiving so my 2 snowboarders want to go there--so cornish hens for 2 it is. Maybe New Years we
will try the cabin. Mary
