Tomorrow I'm making Reuben Sandwichs and potato salad

[MrScorpio]

Who's game!!

[Ellen Forradalom]

1. What time should we arrive?

and what should we bring?

[MrScorpio]

6. Chips

The fancy gourmet kind

[MooPie]

2. Oh baby!!!!!

Count me in!!!!!

[blondeatlast]

3. I'm there, I'll even bring the Diet Coke (I take insulin, see). nt

[Insider]

4. yes yes YES

the only question left is cream soda or ginger ale

[MrScorpio]

5. Ginger ale, of course

That reminds me. I'm almost out

[auntAgonist]

7. Vernors!!

And please, ..let the sauerkraut have a nice bite to it :)

Wish I could be there :cry:

[MrScorpio]

8. I've got the Claussens chilling in the fridge

Right next to my last can of Vernors

Have you been in my fridge when I wasn't looking?

[grasswire]

9. depends...

...on your potato salad. I favor my own, unfortunately.

What goes in yours?

[MrScorpio]

11. Red Potatoes unskinned, diced and cooked

Hellmans dijonaise, mayo, onions, eggs, relish, paprika, salt, pepper

[grasswire]

14. well, that sounds pretty good

...but what kind of relish? If it's sweet relish, hmmmm.

Mine: potatoes cooked to a T (not mushy), Best Food (Hellman's) mayo, hard-boiled eggs, diced dill pickles, dill weed, pepper, diced celery, diced sweet onion, a bit of celery seed, sliced olives, a short dab of mustard, a scant teaspoon sugar, and salt to taste. It's after my grandmother's New England style.

We could have a 'tato salad cookoff!

[MrScorpio]

17. I have Vlasic dill

But I may augment it with a little Mt Olive sweet. Maybe a little

[MrScorpio]

10. Oh, by the way

I'm using turkey pastrami, deli sliced swiss, Claussens sauerkraut, T. Marzetti's home style thousand island and Land-o-lakes unsalted buttah

Yum yum

[auntAgonist]

12. I knew I was going to like this DU place :)

Claussens sauerkraut is good! I used to make my own. Stunk up the house something awful though.

sooooooooooo .. what time's dinner?

:party:

[MrScorpio]

13. Oh yeah the bread

I got this Goldminer sourdough Rye stuff

Looks good

[grasswire]

18. I have some Goldminer sourdo rye ...

..on top of my fridge right now. It's a little dry for cold sandwiches, but should soak up those kraut juices well.

[grasswire]

19. traditionally...

...the reuben was made with a russian dressing before people's lives became so complicated.

1 c. salad oil
3/4 c. chili sauce
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. tarragon vinegar
1 lg. onion, grated
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. lemon juice

[MrScorpio]

21. These will be some untraditional sandwiches

i.e., I'm using turkey pastrami vs. corned beef.

No beef in my house. Nope. Don't do it

Besides, I love the thousand island.

I'll keep the Russian tip in my pocket

[grasswire]

22. I wasn't pushing tradition...

...just passing on a bit of food trivia. Ask me anything. My daughter watches Food TV constantly. <g>

[MrScorpio]

20. Thanks for the tip.

I've never used this bread before. But the ladies at the supermaket deli said that It would make great sandwiches.

I'll make sure to hit it with a little extra buttah

I'll lay down the 'kraut first while its cooking

[EstimatedProphet]

15. Sign me up!

I love a good reuben!

[Droopy]

16. Sounds yummy

Reuben sandwiches are my favorite type of sandwich. They are excellent with salt and vinegar chips, btw.
