Rueben sandwich

It's Friday. I arrive home to 3 hungry girls and one very sickly husband (he did manage to eat a bowl of chicken noodle soup at some point today...and then ran to the bathroom to dispose of it....again and again....use your imagination). So, i poured myself a glass of vino and assembled my sandwiches. I used rye bread, pastrami, sour kraut, and baby swiss cheeses. I grilled them in my cast iron skillet and then piled them onto a cookie sheet. Then i threw them in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. The cheese was gooey, the meat and kraut all warm and tasty and the bread crusty...mmmm Catherine said, 'man, this is good'. i did take a picture but it wasnt all that great....so instead i am posting a video of Isabelle practicing her flute shortly after dinner. Meanwhile, i gave justy some ibuprofen for his aching and a plain grilled cheese...he said he was ready for something more that canned soup. we've cleared the path to the bathroom....... I have him snuggled down now under blankets...for now. He is watching 'phenomenon' with john travolta. Isabelle is coloring next to me. catherine is cleaning her room...which is a freakin' miracle...she screams every now and again if she sees a spider. spiders seem to navigate to her room like no other room in the house...but i would never admit that to her. she has the vacuum cleaner in there and just sucks them up. with any luck we'll be able to see the floor again when she is through. and soph is relaxing on the couch watching the movie with her dad...(her room is always clean...she doesnt even mess her bed up when she sleeps)
Not sure what the weekend will bring as far as food goes but i'll be back tomorrow with another post. i would say bon appetite but tonite in honor of my irish roots and the rueben sandwich i will say ~slainte~
