We've been trying to avoid the grocery store at all costs, per the CDC's recommendation, but after a week I was completely out of produce for my rabbits, which was noticeably messing with their well being. Additionally, my boyfriend's digestive issues were flaring due to a lack of yogurt and other perishable dietary staples. We stuck it out a bit longer, but just shy of the 2 week mark we decided to venture out. Our aim is to buy our perishables two weeks at a time, so we can still limit our public interaction. Thankfully our non perishables are still in ample supply.
So while we were out, I bought the ingredients I was missing to make a batch of seitan reubens from scratch. The end result was tasty, but I think the spices in the corned beef brine used to infuse into the seitan could have been stronger. It's not easy finding a recipe for a convincing analog. The authentic ones were always a favorite of my boyfriend, and he's been eating a vegetarian diet for a few months now, so I really wanted to treat him.
