Reuben in Rexburg

You like food? Of course you like food! I like food! And nothing satisfies my unique (American) appetite than a good Reuben sandwich. Last weekend, my uncle was out doing job in Rexburg and I was out on my day off from classes running a few errands when he called and suggested we meet for lunch. We ate at a place here Rexburg called Frontier Pies and I'd say it's a decent place. I've heard about it but I always got mixed results from those who actually ate there so I never really ate there until now... For my first time, I'd say it was pretty decent. My uncle says he likes the steaks there but I got the Reuben sandwich:

No caption necessary! You know how it is with me and Reuben sandwiches!

A neat thing about the way drinks are served at this places is that you drink them out of mason jars:

Probably the closest I'm gonna get to drinking like a moonshiner...

While I'm writing, I like to declare that I've broken a cardinal rule and committed a "sin" against my family/culture/culinary lifestyle. In my defense however, I needed a break from the usual food any busy college student eats. Being the half-Japanese I am and my awesome abilities to make (by hand and mostly from scratch!) steam-fried gyozas (or potstickers as you Americans like to call it), I broke tradition by partaking of the "forbidden" food. In this case, it was store-bought gyozas:

Comes in either Chicken or Pork flavors!
And as I said before, I was busy...

Repercussions for my forsaking of the hand-made and going to the store-bought were expected by minimal. I think I got called a "turd" once and that was it. Other than that, these store-bought gyozas tasted pretty good; a nice change over from ramen, pasta, and the frozen pizzas!
