Friday was Reuben Sandwich day at the Senior Center. When I asked Hick if he could get us one for supper, he started by saying how he would have to call and reserve them. As if punching in a number on his phone and speaking to people he knows there is so taxing...
Anyhoo... on Thursday night, I asked Hick if we would be getting our Reubens. He said that he had already talked to his buddy who dishes up the meals, and that yes, we would be getting Reubens for our supper. YES!
Here is how they were listed on the menu:
Grilled Reuben
Broccoli Cheddar OR Veg Soup
Slaw
Crackers
Variety of Desserts
Hick brought our meals home shortly before noon, and said that for lunch, he had cherry pie for dessert. I don't really like pie, but I had him look in the containers he brought home. We had brownies! I like brownies, but didn't feel like I should have a whole one, since Hick was giving me his slaw and soup. I decided on 1/4 of a brownie, just to have a taste, so Hick could have the second one the next night.
Different bread, not the marble rye I like so much. They were a little light on the slaw this time! At least it wasn't slaw soup. And for once, the "crackers" listed on the menu actually showed up on the tray. Hick said this was "potato soup," and I can't really tell. There did seem to be chunks of potato in there, and not necessarily broccoli. The sandwich was nice and dry, not befouled by slaw juice or beet juice. Warmed in the oven, it crisped up nicely.
Doesn't that brownie look tasty? I actually saved my 1/4 serving for the next night, so I can't report on the flavor. You can bet I am planning to take that edge portion for my 1/4.
I love Reuben Sandwich day!
Reuben Sandwich day must bring out the best in everybody! Hick reported that the Denizen of the SC who has been so mean to him was "actually nice."
"I went through the line and she said, 'I have your tea half ready.' She had half a glass of tea, but the bucket was out of ice. So she filled the ice bucket, and scooped the ice into my tea. We usually do that ourself. And then she brought my two take-out meals to the table for me."
"Were you nice to her?"
"Yes. I said 'Thank you' when she brought them out."
Well. That's a step in the right direction, I suppose...
Now that's a Senior Center lunch I'd enjoy. It all looks good:) It's nice to hear that the Denizen of the SC may actually want to be friends with Hick again.
ReplyDeleteThe soup was good, the slaw was fantastic, and the sandwich was great, despite being on the thinner rye bread rather than the marble rye.
DeleteI wonder if maybe somebody said something to Denizen about her behavior, or if she might be wanting a favor from Hick. Either way, there's a glimmer of hope.
Do I sense a possible mending of fences?
ReplyDeleteYour food looks delicious and reminds me I haven't made brownies in a very long while.
I hope they can work things out. Hick was actually cheery when he was talking about it. The food was tasty, but I wished for more SLAW!
DeleteThat all looks good! I want the brownie. Someone probably had a word with her.
ReplyDeleteThe brownie was how I like it! I had the edge, which was just chewy and crusty enough. I think there was some kind of candy bar in it! I only had tiny section of it, kind of crispy, but you can see a layer on the bottom that looks different. Hick doesn't know what they put in the brownies.
DeletePeople had talked to her before, so maybe it was her husband this time, who is still friends with Hick.
