Hubby decided late last night that he did not want potatoes, carrots, and cabbage in with the corned beef when I cooked it. He just wants reuben sandwiches. So I checked my pantry and refrigerator and I had swiss cheese slices and sauerkraut but I did not have the marble rye bread nor the ingredients to make it. So I was at the market at 7am buying this $ 5.69 loaf of bread. They had no marble rye so this was the closest I could get to it. We do have the ingredients to make Russian dressing. Hubby can’t wait to make one after the Bills preseason football game. I started the corned beef very early so it should be done by 5pm. It is cooking in beer and a little bit of water along with the spice packet that came with it.
Today will be a lazy day of watching the game and doing some reading.
During the game, I cooked up 1 pound of bacon for our family Sunday breakfast tomorrow. We haven’t seen my grandson and son in a few weeks so we are looking forward to it. When they get here in the morning, I will cook up a package of breakfast sausage, make scrambled eggs and some French toast for those who want these things. I will reheat the bacon.
For brunch today, we had roast beef sandwiches. I had pulled some roast beef slices out of the freezer the other day and they need to be used up.
We turned off the A/C last night so that we could enjoy a cool night of sleeping with the windows open. But we had to turn it back on today because the heat and muggy weather is coming back and will last all of this coming week. Just as I am posting this, the A/C has turned on for the first time today. It is 6:35pm.
We will be getting our school tax bill in a week or so. I found the 2024-2025 tax rate per thousand and have estimated the bill at $ 5981. Yikes! We will see how close I come to it.
Hubby made the reubens for our dinner when the corned beef was done and had cooled a bit. He put corned beef, sauerkraut, and swiss cheese slices on the buttered bread and then grilled them on our indoor grill. I forgot how good they are. We are looking forward to eating these as long as the corned beef lasts.
Enjoy your evening.

Hi Precious. Hubby would love your Reuben sandwiches. I don’t make them since I don’t like them. I do get him the stuff to make them around St Patrick’s Day when I do the corned beef and cabbage. He will also order one occasionally if we go out to eat.
Yesterday was a lazy day here also, although hubby finished painting the shed trim and he also put down the next bag of lawn stuff. He had to water it in since it is not supposed to rain here anytime soon.
I can’t remember if I had told your readers that he found Scott’s has a program where they will send you the bags of what you need at the time you need them for a reasonable cost. They have you measure your yard so they send the right amount, and also ask what kind of lawn you have, where you live, etc. . He was unhappy with the lawn service we had, so decided to try this and has been happy. We have .25 acre so the bag is manageable for him, not very big.
Hi Chris,
Hubby makes the best. The next time you come to visit I will make sure that I have a corned beef in the freezer to make him reubens.
The Scott’s program sounds interesting. Hubby always did his own when we lived in NY before. Now our lawn service charges about what we would have to pay for the bags all summer. Thanks for telling my readers about it.
