Our home delivered meals should be eaten hot and as soon as delivered. If you choose to save it for another time, please:
Refrigerate meals immediately
Hot meal re-heating instructions:
Frozen meals should be placed in the freezer or refrigerator immediately. All perishable foods (food prepared with milk, eggs, meat poultry or fish) should be stored at a temperature below 40° or heated until the food is over 160°.
PLAN AHEAD
There are times, unfortunately, when the Senior Center is unable to distribute meals to our seniors. It isn’t often, and it is disheartening when it happens. During our snow days, decision time comes into play. We ask ourselves: Can our employees make it to work—safely? Are the roads opened and are they free of ice? Keep in mind that not all of our employees live in Middletown or in Hidden Valley.
We all talk about the changes in the weather patterns. What we need to do is plan ahead for the “dangerous” weather changes or disasters-- snow, floods, fires.
Each time you shop, it is a good idea to pick up something extra that you are able to keep on your shelf for a lengthy period of time. That way in case of an emergency, you have food in the house which can be used whether the power is on or off. Here are some ideas for an emergency bag: Tuna and chicken kits; granola bars; peanut butter; crackers; fruit cups; V-8; shelf stable milk; water. Also, keep a couple of cans of soup, perhaps beans, and other canned choices if power remains on but you wish to keep the refrigerator/freezer closed in case power eventually goes out.
Reuben Sandwich
Ingredients
· 8 slices rye bread
· ½ cup Thousand Island dressing
· 8 slices Swiss cheese
· 8 slices deli sliced corned beef
· 1 cup sauerkraut, drained
· 2 tablespoons butter, softened
Directions
1. Preheat a large griddle or skillet over medium heat.
2. Spread one side of bread slices evenly with Thousand Island dressing. On four bread slices, layer one slice Swiss cheese, 2 slices corned beef, 1/4 cup sauerkraut, and a second slice of Swiss cheese. Top with remaining bread slices, dressing-side down. Butter the top of each sandwich.
3. Place sandwiches, butter-side down on the preheated griddle; butter the top of each sandwich with remaining butter. Grill until both sides are golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Serve hot.
