This is the Flash Reuben, which is all kinds of yum.
You make it like this:
1. Think about tonight's blog post. Inspiration in a thought bubble: reuben! Look at amount of daylight left. Panic.
2. Check pantry. Defrost Viva Vegan steamed red seitan and Dave's Killer Bread Rockin' Rye.
3. Dash to store to get sauerkraut (Bubbie's). Get accosted by kiwi-berry pusher in produce. Eat one kiwi-berry. Succumb to cajoling and agree to buy kiwi-berries. Dash home.
4. Slice seitan and preheat broiler.
5. Broil seitan slices three minutes per side.
6. While broiling, mix up thousand island dressing: 1-2 tablespoons each ketchup and Vegenaise, 1/2-1 teaspoons each capers and pickle relish, dash of black salt.
7. Toast rye bread.
8. Layer half the sauce on the bread. On go broiled seitan strips.
9. Remove about half a cup sauerkraut from jar. Squeeze moisture out over sink. Layer over seitan. Drizzle remaining sauce over, top with second piece of rye.
10. Look at daylight. Panic. Rush outside with camera, sandwich, and backdrop. Photograph from every angle, minimum 15 shots each.
11. Upload photos to computer. Choose least offensive, brighten, and crop.
12. Write post quickly so you don't forget what you did.
13. Schedule for publishing.
14. Hope that sandwich is not stone cold.
Variation: Skip steps 10-14. Eat hot.

Of course I have another giveaway for you hungry vegans, and it's from Dave's Killer Bread!
Are you surprised? No, you are not. All of their bread is vegan, and it is the only bread I buy. Right now I have their Killer Cracked Wheat bread on my kitchen table, and Rockin' Rye (you know this already) and Blues Buns in my freezer. I dream about their Sin Dawgs--if you have access to them and are not buying them, I am concerned. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be a regular purchaser of their newest product too. That product would be DKB Halos, aka Good Seed evolved bagels! One lucky winner will win a package of these gorgeous things upon their launch on November 14. Don't they look so good? They give seedy a new meaning.
To enter the giveaway, leave a comment below. Tell me about your favorite Dave's Killer Bread product, or what you like on your bagel, or anything at all. This giveaway is open to US residents only, but others this month will be open to everybody everywhere. The winner will be chosen by a random number generator and posted tomorrow below tomorrow's giveaway. If you win a giveaway on this blog at some point this month, please be kind and don't enter further giveaways--I'd love as many people to win something as possible!

I like my bagels with hummus and avocado. I've heard such wonderful things about Dave's Killer Bread and I have always wanted to try it. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI've heard about Dave's Killer Bread, but never tried it!
ReplyDeletebagel with tofutti cream cheese and hot pepper jelly please.
ReplyDeleteBagel with peanut butter. I haven't seen Dave's Killer Bread, but sounds great!
ReplyDeleteI dream of touching Dave's gorgeous arm muscles. And, I love the Blue's Bread the most!
ReplyDeleteI tried the Sin Dawg in Portland and I was meaning to get some of the bread or bagels, but I forgot! Now I'm sad!
ReplyDeleteI really like making bagel sandwiches with hummus, veggies, and tofurkey. Or mini pizzas.
The only bread I buy is Dave's and my fav is the Blues. I just love that the bread is packed with omega 3 and other healthy stuff. Yum!
ReplyDeleteI am not entering the giveaway since I've already won one. I just had to tell you what a great name Flash Reuben is for a sandwich. I feel like that means it should have a cape, and superpowers.
ReplyDeleteI have heard of this Dave's bread but I don't live in a place where it's available. Nor in fact, are decent bagels available! I'm totally deprived. But I do love me an everything bagel with Earth Balance!!!
ReplyDeleteahhhhhh!!!! Dave's Killer Bread is the BEST EVER. I love it so much that I stuff loaves of it into my purse before I fly home from Portland. What an awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeletealso, hoorah for reubens!
I won the Sin Dawg through your giveaway last year and it has been my fave ever since. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHummus & Sprouts on a bagel is like the perfect meal
ReplyDeleteMy bagels like to be dressed in vegan cream cheese and fresh blueberry jam. :)
ReplyDeleteLove my bagels with peanut butter!
ReplyDeleteBagel, toasted with sunflower seed butter melting
ReplyDeleteI am kicking myself for not buying a loaf of that bread and taking it with me on the plane when I was in Portland. It wouldn't have been any weirder than the box I dropped off at UPS!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap! I've never had Dave's bread before, but man oh man... how I've wanted to try it!
ReplyDeleteI have never had Killer Dave bread either. I have heard great things about it. I wish they sold it here.
