Malthus

Today I learned that Lt. George H. W. Bush, future President of the United States, came very close to being eaten by cannibals (in the so-called "Chichi Jima Incident").

I have never eaten Mustard before, as weird as that sounds.  I kinda like it.

A life without mustard is a life not worth living.

Well a life with only English mustard isn't worth living either.

Perhaps the cannibals ran out of mustard.

I've been experimenting with imported German mustards (don't tell my parents) and I've decided I do not like sweet mustard one bit.  I do like that they come from a toothpaste-type tube though :D

Every kind of mustard, including sweet mustard, has it's place.

I usually have between 3-5 jars of mustard in my fridge at any given time.  :blush:

Yes, English mustard has a place. The trash. :P

what is English mustard?


while I like many different types of mustard, I got to admit my favourite is still the bright yellow cheap stuff.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Local-ish place makes a Dusseldorf mustard that is the bomb:



Unfortunately no longer available at my Kroger.  Surprisingly the White Castle Dusseldorf Mustard is a halfway decent replacement.

Looks like it's a kielbasa and sauerkraut kind of night. Maybe with some hot potato salad. :mmm:

Thanks for the dinner idea, guys. :D
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

You want pyrogies with your kielbasa and sauerkraut. :contract:

Does your wife's family call them that?  Even the FOTB Ukes I know call them pyrogy.
