Best to you ... sounds as difficult as trying to find a decent Reuben sandwich in Idaho. I guess Reubens are an Irish New Englander 'thing' and quite honestly...the best are found out towards *gasp* Boston... (No one from Western MA ever wants to admit that Boston may indeed have one up on us... ) __________________ Well behaved women rarely...
