Small complaints that I will file here instead of on Twitter:
- Installing MS Office 2008 seems to have affected the default line height of text on this blog when viewed in my browser. I know, you think I’m imagining it — but consider the fact that all text disappeared from the browser during the installation process (and only came back when I restarted Firefox). Weird, right?
- Russian dressing seems to me to just be a flimsy attempt to approximate cheese while keeping reuben sandwiches kosher. This is understandable, but we shouldn’t let cultural traditions that are relevant for only a small subset of the population hold the rest of us back from scientific progression in the field of sandwiches.
(It’s true, of course, that you can find non-kosher reubens, but I still feel that the historical burden of religion has prevented the quest for a superior reuben condiment from receiving the attention it deserves.)
Russian dressing is also objectively gross, although it works on the Reuben. Do you have an alternative condiment proposal? Besides the obvious, like melted provolone or the like?
Reubens aren’t already treif in D.C.? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a reuben in CA that didn’t have cheese on it.
Josh: it probably depends on the place, but the two closest to my workplace both stick with Russian dressing.
mrh: unfortunately I haven’t got a great suggestion — yet. But the wheels are turning.
Huh. The ones here have both cheese *and* Russian dressing.
It’s just like a country club out here.
