It's Heeeeere, But Not as Advertised

The Reuben has arrived! In fact, the Reuben has been consumed! Val is stuffed to the gills with Reuben and his accoutrements. I'd say this meal was a disappointment, but I enjoyed it so much that I cannot! Let's just let the record show that the meal I was delivered by Hick was not the meal that was listed on the monthly menu for the Senior Center.

Broccoli Cheddar Soup

Reuben Sandwich

Slaw

Pecan Pie Brownie

You'd think, that since they used that Broccoli Cheddar Soup as the headliner, that I would at least get Broccoli Cheddar Soup. No siree, Bob! I got soup, but it was more like Vegetable Beef.

At least it was more than orange liquid this time. Even chunkier than it looks here, because along with those vegetables and shell noodles and a couple cubes of beef, the soup was full of kidney beans! That's a new combination to me, but it was actually pretty tasty.

The star of the show did not disappoint:

There's that wonderful marble rye bread. It seemed like more meat than usual, and the cheese, kraut, and dressing were just right. Sadly, there was no SLAW! You know how Val likes her slaw. I couldn't tell what that side was supposed to be. It kind of looked like chicken salad. But no, Hick, who had already eaten a full lunch of the same foods, said it was potato salad. "They call it Loaded Baked Potato Salad. It has bacon in it." Well. It DID taste like a baked potato, but I didn't notice any bacon. The other "side" is a pile of oyster crackers to go with the soup.

I'm not a big fan of dessert, but this one tempted me:

It's a brownie all right. Whether it's a Pecan Pie Brownie remains to be seen. Hick ate the other one. I said he could have this one, too, as long as I get that edge part cut off. I like the edge!

Hick didn't eat his meal, since he was still full from lunch. But not too full for the brownie, heh, heh. I took Hick's soup, because he really doesn't like liquid in his soup.

Now there's only a month to wait until the next Reuben day, and find out what excuse Hick might have for not bringing one home for me, and devise a scheme to thwart his devious plan.
