German Mexican Food Day

The writing goes well. Life goes on too. The weather is warming up some although it's 28 degrees now at 10 o'clock in the morning. As a pre-Saint Pat's Day celebration, we had corned beef and cabbage last night. It was delicious. But this is only the prelude to the Reubens which we will enjoy tonight. If you have somehow missed out on Reuben sandwiches in your otherwise rich and fulfilled life, the recipe is simple. Heat up a can of sauerkraut. (Or you can use that fancy deli sauerkraut if you want.) Lightly toast two pieces of rye bread or pumpernickel. Put Dijon or German mustard on one slice and add thin slices of corned beef. On the other piece put sliced swiss cheese. Broil in the oven until the corned beef is hot and the cheese is melted. Pile on the sauerkraut and make a sandwich. Awesome! The weird thing about tonight's meal is that I found nice cheap avocados at the grocery store the other day. They have reached perfect ripeness today. So the menu tonight at Chez Denney will be Reubens with guacamole on the side.

I have finally cranked up my new writing blog. If you're interested in writing, please check it out. There's a link to it on the right hand side of this page.
