Just enjoyed my first homemade Reuben. Plenty of fixins for a couple more and it was very good. I took pictures but will have to figure out how to move them from my i-pad to the forum. Have some other pictures to post as well.
Corned beef and cabbage for dinner tonight.

Windows 10+ has a link to phone app that makes it easy. Don't know if it supports iPad.

This pc is still on Vista.
I'm sure I can make something work, just low on my priority list.
This i-pad is a POS. They don't provide ANY instructions, saying everything is intuitive.
But it translates voice to text for me so I haven't tossed it as yet.

The charge / data cable that came with it should allow for a USB transfer of some sort.

Thank you. I will review that link and check with my daughter to see what cables came with this i-pad.

I add onion, beer small bit of vinegar. I posted the recipe is here some where.

You will get 10% more meat from a slow oven than a slow cooker.

Are having corned beef and cabbage today?

Also added carrots and potatoes to my pot. Don't know what brand I normally buy. Usually grab what ever's in the bin. But today's seasoning seem a bit more mild than previous years. Wished I'd looked to see if there was any green beer at the market. Or, I could have bought regular beer an...

I enjoy finding old posts; it's good for my brain. 😊

Scored a corned beef yesterday at the supermarket. Haven't cooked it yet. I was back at the store today, for something else. Figured a second corned beef for the freezer couldn't hurt.

Y’all enjoy your corn beef tomorrow. I’m disappointed. The new kitchen floor didn’t get finished today so installer is coming back tomorrow. We’ll enjoy it just as much Saturday.

Well, I had all the fixins left over to make either another CB and cabbage dinner OR another Reuben (my third). The Reuben won out and it was fantastic. So thick. Had a side of Russian dressing for dipping and pickles plus extra kraut.
I know, I'm bad but that was a great sandwich.
Already picked up 2 more corned beef and see they are still on sale. No need to wait for st paddy's day.

I’m so jealous! How long do they keep in the freezer? Did you put Swiss cheese on it?

 

[Bud9051]

The two corned beef I cooked up were from 2 years ago. Was going to cook only one but didn't want to leave the other any longer.
Yes on 2 slices of swiss cheese.
a chunk of corned beef can be a bit chewy. But sliced cross grain they become very tender.
I feel like I just finished a Thanksgiving Turkey.

My corned beef and cabbage was very traditional, cabbage, carrots, and potatoes (all somewhat large pieces). Salt pepper with the corned beef providing extra seasoning (and butter of course).

For the Reuben I grilled the rye bread. I would normally have used the curved rye loaf but store was out so picked up a loaf of soft rye, regular sandwich shape and very good.

Instead of toasting it I put it on my griddle with lots of butter (both sides).
Smeared both slices with Russian dressing then Swiss cheese. (again both sides).
Piled a huge amount of corned beef on one side then a pile of sauerkraut.
Flipped the second side on top and cut in half.

With a little side of Russian dressing I smeared a bit on each bite. Mixed in some extra sauerkraut and a piece of pickle.

I'm typing this up so I can add it to my cooking instructions for the corned beef, times and temperatures.
Just sharing

Butter your bread with Mayo and grill it mayo side down. Don't forget the kraut.

I just read Mayo gets the bread crispy, in a good way, so can’t wait to try it.

I wanted to try Russian dressing instead of Thousand island an read thousand Island is sweeter and Russian dressing is more tangy. The store did not have a Light or low calorie Russian and the calories were 140 for 2 tablespoons so bought thousand island light.

What to do?
I have a nice piece of corned beef remaining from previous dinner and some Reubens. I also have half of a head of cabbage plus plenty carrots and potatoes. Decision, they are all cooking as I type. Will slice and heat the cb when veggies are ready.
I'm having fun this St Paddy's season.

Yuck. My Ruben sandwich was a mess. I used too much sauerkraut and it wasn’t drained enough and I used too much thousand island dressing. It looked good in the skillet but when I tried to pick it up it all squished an mashed together in a big soggy mess. I ate it but it wasn’t very good.

 

[Bud9051]

Next one will be better, guaranteed. That is the learning process. And this one, will make that next one taste soo much better.

Avoiding the sloppy mess is one of the reasons I used a side of dressing and spooned one a little with each bite.
