I woke up today convinced that Christmas was going away. I started by putting my gifts away. I got more scrapbooking stuff. I put that all away. Then I organized my closet.
In the process, I found my original idea book.
I haven't progressed much...
I cleaned the closet. Except for the shoes... That's a big ol' mess. I needed sustenance first.
Reuben Sandwiches (makes 6)
1 pound thin sliced corned beef (I used Boar's Head)
1 loaf dark rye bread
4 slices Swiss cheese (I used Boar's Head Lacy Swiss)
1 onion
1 can sauerkraut
Thousand Island Dressing (recipe below)
Butter (melted)
Thousand Island Dressing
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chili sauce (or ketchup if you don't have any)
1 teaspoon sour cream
1 teaspoon dill pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon sweet pickle relish
1/4 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
pinch salt
Mix all of the ingredients together in a bowl. Allow to sit while making the sandwiches.
Slice the onion. Put it in a pan with a pat of butter. Add a little salt and pepper. Cook on low until caramelized.
Heat a stove top griddle (or pan if don't have one). Warm the corned beef on the griddle.
Once all of the corned beef is warm, place it on a plate.
Brush the bottom side of each slice of bread with the melted butter. Place it butter side down on the griddle. Top with a smear of Thousand Island Dressing. [I'm the only one who eats it that way at my house]. Top half of the bread with meat and half a slice of the swiss cheese. Then add the onions and the sauerkraut (that's just me again!). Place the other half on top. Slice in half. Serve with soup.
I had a use a knife and fork to eat this like a lady. After we ate, I had the fortitude necessary to organize my shoes. I only have 41 pairs. :)
