I'm sure I'd love it, what's not to love about pastrami? Good deli corned beef is easier to get than good pastrami. I'll keep my eye out for some good looking pastrami though.
If you use coleslaw instead of kraut with the pastrami you've got yerself a "Rachel".
I also bought a small block of Emmentaler Swiss cheese. Kinda pricey but hands down (in my opinion) he Swissiest of all the Swiss cheeses. I bought Ken's Steakhouse brand Russian dressing. But I'll copy your recipe for future reference.
Tomorrow's lunch is gonna be one fine Reuben!

You got Publix Supermarkets up there doncha, Joe? They carry almost a full line of Ba-Tampte products. It's all refrigerated. I'd never argue with you about Claussen's being a fine pickle. But it's from Chicago and marketed by Kraft foods. Ba-Tampte is from Brooklyn and you'd swear your Jewish Bubbie made in her kitchen just for you.

Good coffee, good weed, and time on my hands...
