Surprise Reuben!

I knew that Reuben Day at the Senior Center was Tuesday, St. Patrick's Day. I made sure that Hick knew, too! He agreed to bring home Reubens for our supper. The menu said it would be:

Reuben

Colcannon (Irish Potatoes)

Honey Glazed Carrots

Pistachio Cake OR Fruit

I was a bit disappointed to see that there was no SLAW on the menu. Then again, when the menu DID list slaw, we didn't get it, because they substituted beets. I was curious to see what would actually be in our takeout containers.

The broccoli was a welcome surprise. I don't like glazed carrots. The colcannon looked okay. Like basic mashed potatoes. Maybe with bacon particles. I tried a bite, but they tasted like watery mashed potatoes with maybe some bacon and broccoli stems. No thank you. Hick can have mine.

Here's the thing: Hick brought home an extra Reuben! 

"One of them old ladies didn't want her sandwich, so they put it in a container for me."

That works out great. I only have half a Reuben, then the other half the next night. So Hick ate just the sandwich Tuesday evening, because he was still full from the meal at lunch. Wednesday night, I'll have my other half-Reuben, and Hick can have the second meal. Plus my colcannon. Of course, he will be eating another full meal for lunch, Wednesday's being:

Meatloaf

Mashed Potatoes

Green Beans

Roll

Peach Pie OR Fruit

Heh, heh! Hick LOVES meatloaf. I hope he's not getting leftover colcannon for the mashed potatoes, because he'll also be having a double serving for supper.

Anyhoo... the dessert looked okay:

I don't know if it was actually Pistachio Cake from the menu. Hick just said he had "green cake." I didn't try it, because I always give my desserts to Hick. Those little decoration things are a deal-breaker for me. Or should I say "tooth-breaker?" I don't like them on my cake, no matter what the flavor or color. Can you tell which piece they intended for Hick?

The Reuben was really good. The broccoli was okay. I'm trying to get Hick to bring me lunch next Tuesday... The menu calls for:

Ham & Beans

Spinach & Breaded Tom.

Cornbread

OR

Liver & Onions

Mashed Potatoes

Veg

Cornbread

Blueberry Pie OR Fruit

I would like to try their liver and onions. I like liver. Not sure what they can do to it. I for sure don't want spinach, or "breaded tom." (Which I hope is breaded tomATOES, but then again not, because they sound horrible. Though breaded TOM would be much worse!)

We'll see if Hick is too busy to bring me TWO meals in one month!
