Hey Ness, KC and I went to Knub's Pub out on Hwy 7 and Johnson drive yesterday for a drink and a sandwich. 

They have the best Reuben's you will ever get from a restaurant! I asked what brand of kraut they used and was told the chef does in house. Every layer of the sandwich complemented the other. Just a fabulous sandwich. I highly recommend you try it. It's only $8 and it's more than you can eat!! That and a pitcher of beer was under $15! 

Oh lord, now you have done it. You know he will undertake making kraut now, right?

You dog! That's just a few blocks from my house! I wish I would've know you guys were there. It's relatively new and I haven't been there yet. Homemade kraut sounds to me like they take it pretty seriously there. Glad to hear it's good.

Anybody familiar with a Bierock? It's an Eastern European meat-and-cabbage-filled pastry. I'd never heard of them until I went to school in Kansas, and one of the cooks was a Mennonite lady from Western Kansas and she made them for us. Later, when I started pheasant hunting, I'd see them at various opening day dinners out west. And, a few years ago I learned there's a chain of restaurants up in Nebraska that sells them, but they call it a 'Runza'.

So, I've never done the full-blown deal, making the dough, then filling and baking. But I have used frozen dinner rolls and even Pillsbury bread in a can. But I got to thinking it could easily be turned into a burger and eaten on a bun. I Googled and not surprisingly I wasn't the only one to think of that. So, a couple weeks back I browned ground beef, then added cabbage, onion, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, yellow mustard salt and pepper and cooked it all down. Served it on some take-and-bake ciabatta rolls. Perry darn good!

We were at the Regionals Volleyball tourney with my daughter. Me and him left to get some Subway for the wife and daughter. I had mentioned I'd like a burger and a beer. We saw this place as we hunted for a Subway. 

 That mission accomplished, we went back to try the pub. He had a Philly the size of a battleship and a few Gin and Tonics to wash it down. 

I will definitely be calling you next time I go. And I will be going!

  Man there is some good looking grub here,

Did a little foraging this morning. Got a nice pile of wild asparagus. So this afternoon we steamed this whole pile in the photo, then wilted some lettuce from the garden and fried up some of Pat's turkey she got yesterday. Only major thing bought was the bacon and breading. I think I could of grown the bacon if the Mrs. would of let me planted a few strips .

The BilletHead's don't have much of a grocery bill.

Can you believe the Billetheads? Wild asparagus. Fresh turkey. Home grown bacon grease wilted salad. Dang.

Here at Holiday Island, we are preparing Mexican lasagne. I posted about the enchilada casserole I make earlier in this thread and my blog has a picture recipe.

I have also prepped a slow cooker pot roast for tomorrow. That too was posted earlier. I guess I have become boring.

That sounds outstanding!
