Since it's going to be in the mid to high 80's today, the dog days of mid summer according to our weatherman, I thought I'd treat hubby to some great city foods from ZABAR'S NEW YORK CITY DELICATESSEN.....

ZABAR'S overnight it, shipping yesterday afternoon to arrive by 10 a.m. today; always arrives COLD in an insulated refrigerated bag....fresh as if it were just sliced.


Reuben Two =
Pastrami & Corned Beef *Swiss Cheese * Rye Bread * Deli Mustard * Russian Dressing * Potato Salad * Cole Slaw * Half Sour Pickles
Plus I added: Extra cole slaw * Chopped Chicken Liver (pate) * Cinnamon Rugelach

"""Some deli denizens like their Reubens with corned beef, others with pastrami. Please them all with this direct-from-the-deli crate, packed sky-high (like a true Rueben sandwich) with all the fixing's for a fabulous feast: 1/2lb Corned beef, 1/2lb Pastrami, 1/2lb Swiss cheese, Zabar's rye bread, Zabar's deli mustard, Russian dressing, Potato salad, Half-sour pickles, Cole slaw. """

They also have the best toasting bagles & home made cream cheese.......a zillion times better than our supermarket bagles which are rubbery. We keep a large supply of Zabar's bagles, of all varieties, in our freezer.....after hubby slices them on the Zabar's "guillotine".....a neat invention. They also have the best smoked Scottish Nova Salmon (prepackaged) which we recently had for the very first time about a month ago.....on a bagle with a "schemear" of their home made cream cheese" The salmon is not fishy......but delicate smoky flavor.....excellent. The cream cheese divlne.

Anyway, I'm always cooking.........so a few days of cold deli won't kill us.........it's good for the psyche & for the soul.........a diversion from always trying to eat healthily. Cheaper than driving down the 3 or 4 hours to N.Y.C.
　

This sounds wonderful! I thought I might add that there is a place "up North" called Oscar's Smoke House. It is in Warrensburg, NY. They smoke their own meats and they are delish! They also have a variety of cheeses, cheese spreads, jerkys and much more. This is the place where Rachael Ray orders her gift baskets for Christmas. We particularly like their petite hams. They are all very reasonably priced and they will ship. If they ship on Monday, then your order will come on Thursday or Friday. However, during the summer they don't ship to Florida due to the high temps. The food doesn't stay cold long enough in transit. If you look it up Oscar's Smoke House on google you can look at their products. Oh, I forgot to mention that they have this mustard called "More Than Mustard". It's addicting!
