Good to hear from you again, sounds like a good time in New York. I
guess that if I had some time there, I'd be hot on the trail of some
fine pastrami too! Gads I love a good P on rye, an a P rueben! I have 5
packer cuts in the freezer now, and I'm looking forward to my next and
second attempt with homemade P.
