WITH YOUR WINE

Turkey Reubenstyle sandwiches

Thanksgiving leftovers always seem to drive people crazy. What are we supposed to do with all that turkey? This is a variation on a theme that I have been eating with Thanksgiving leftovers since I was a boy growing up in Chicago. These days, I drink rosé with this on the Sunday after Thanksgiving, and it’s always a fine match.

One note: You can use bottled salad dressing, but it tastes better (and isn’t especially difficult) to make your own. Just combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, relish, lime juice and ketchup, keeping in mind to use more mayonnaise than ketchup and just enough of the rest of the ingredients to get the taste you want.

Serves four, about 15 minutes

3-4 c leftover turkey, sliced or cut into pieces

¼ to ½ c best-quality Swiss-style cheese, sliced

1 c Russian or Thousand Island dressing

1-2 c sauerkraut, drained and rinsed

Eight slices best-quality bread

1. Butter each slice of bread. Then make a sandwich, with the buttered side of the bread on the outside, with the turkey, sauerkraut, cheese and dressing. Make sure the cheese is on the bottom and top of the sandwich.

2. Grill each sandwich in a skillet over medium heat for 2 ½ to 3 minutes a side, until golden brown.

ask the WINE GUY?

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AWINE COOLER AND WINE?AREN’T THEY THE SAME THING?

Not really. A wine cooler is wine (and usually poorquality wine) that has had flavors and sugar added to it to make it taste a certain way. Wine, on the other hand, is mostly natural, and tastes like the grapes it was made from.

Patricia Richards and Rick Barton pay a visit every year to the grassy knoll on the anniversary of President John F. Kennedy’s assassination, listening and silently snapping photos as people tell their stories of the fateful day in history.

STORY BY KERI MITCHELL

Patricia Richards had no idea she was creating a tradition.

The longtime photography teacher was leading a class at El Centro Community College downtown and glanced at her calendar to notice that Nov. 22, the day President John F. Kennedy was shot, fell on a Saturday.

“I told my students, ‘OK, have I got a deal for you,’” Richards says. “‘Let’s meet on Saturday at the school; we’ll walk over to Dealey Plaza, and let’s see who remembers and who comes and why they came.’”

One of her students was Hunky’s owner and neighborhood resident Rick Barton, who remembers that once he took in the scene at the infamous grassy knoll, he was “hooked”.

“I hesitate to call it a freak show, but that’s kind of what it is — the interesting people who frequent the place on the 22nd of November,” Barton says.

“We ran back to the school and developed the film, and it just was so exciting.”

That was in 1997. The next year, as Nov. 22 approached, Richards calledBarton to invite him to return to the spot. This November marks the 13th year the pair has spent the day at Dealey Plaza acting as “amateur detectives — sleuths with our cameras in the full sense of the romance of photojournalism,” Richards says.

Rain, unseasonable November heat and even a couple of Thanksgiving holidays haven’t kept them away; each of them has missed only one year.

It’s the circus of it all, Barton says, that draws them year after year. The anniversary always attracts newcomers, including people who say they witnessed the fateful shooting or whose family members watched the presidential motorcade. But Barton and Richards also run into the same cast of characters year after year — the JKF Lancers, who hold conferences each year on the assassination;

A 2008: “This man was in law enforcement at the time, and he said to me, ‘Do you want to know what really happened on this day? One gun, three bullets and an idiot — and I know that because that’s me,” Richards says, explaining that the man then showed her a copy of a newspaper photo in which the man was standing behind Police Chief Carl Day as he showed the rifle used in the assassination to a crowd.

B 2003: Richards’ listening ear led her to this photo. “I heard him say, ‘Doesn’t anybody want to know about the guy who always makes the signs?’ So I moved in closer. There’s always a sign on the curb, and apparently he had been making them for some time.”

C 1997: Years ago, people could pay to ride in this limo, an exact replica of the vehicle in which Kennedy was shot.
