When I used to work for my last employer I would take the bus periodically to go work in New York City.  Last week, I again found myself on the busy streets of New York. This time I was with family that was visiting us from Europe. I was the one who always plays the role of Cliff Clavin the tour guide. They wanted to see all the sights and I just wanted to take a lunch break at my favorite place in NYC, the famous Katz Deli.

I have never been to Katz, where I wasn’t blown away by the flavor of their pastrami sandwich. The quality is phenomenal, but alas, things on the last trip didn’t work out as I had hoped. I did not get to enjoy one of those great pastrami sandwiches on that last trip. Cliff Clavin was doing his job. Since I do not see myself going to New York any time soon, it looks like I have no choice other than fix what’s ailing me and make some pastrami for myself.
 
I have in the past used a recipe from Meathead Goldwyn from the web site Amazing Ribs.com that produces pastrami that is very similar to Katz’s. This recipe is for making a corned beef and then turning that into pastrami. It’s a bit of work just for a couple sandwiches, but that longing for one has been with me now for a week. I also just happen to have a corned beef still left in the freezer. It may not be the real deal, but having made this in the past it will do very nicely for now. Also the trip to NYC, well I can say that everyone had a lot of fun. For the pastrami recipe

Lyme Disease

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it is “the most commonly reported vectorborne illness in the United States.” 14 states, most on the East Coast of the country, have reported 95 percent of confirmed cases. Every year 30,000 cases are reported to the CDC, and that number is only increasing. Scientists at a laboratory associated with the University of Massachusetts (UMass) Medical School are working on an answer, and have made progress on a shot that could offer 100% protection against the disease.  MORE
