What have you recently eaten?

I've been making sourdough recently and have consequentially been eating a sandwich for lunch almost 100% of days. People say it's plain, but a sourdough sandwich with like turkey/chicken breast, seasoned tomato, red onion, lettuce, homemade mayo, and mustard is an all-american classic. It's like a club sandwich, but I don't really want to eat bacon. God sourdough is just delicious.
 
I've never had a reuben sandwich before and my Airbnb had a sandwich press, so I decided to try and make it.

Sauerkraut from a jar, Thousand Island Dressing (with generous black pepper to mimic Russian Dressing), Swiss cheese slices, corned beef with buttered rye toast. Considering they were cheap supermarket ingredients it was really fucking tasty, a really great blend of savoury, sour tanginess, the mild nuttiness of the cheese brought it all together. I can see why it's so beloved in NYC.

It's a great sandwich almost however you make it unless you don't grill it. Lately I use my own homemade Russian dressing for it and Klosterbrot sourdough rye.
 
Doubleposting, but do you have a recipe?
I sometimes Google one but I usually just wing it. I generally almost always use Kewpie mayonnaise, ketchup (no added sugar), chopped dill pickles, smoked paprika, a little lemon juice, hot horseradish, a very little Worcestershire, microplaned onions, and will then sometimes throw in something like a bit of cayenne, capers, a touch of anchovy paste, or other stuff like that.

I like it thick enough to hold together but thin enough that when heated up it makes a Reuben kind of sloppy.

The main thing I'm usually consistent about is 3 parts mayo to 1 ketchup/chili sauce (the "chili sauce" that is basically just very lightly seasoned ketchup).
