| After receiving a rude phone call letting me know a war had begun. I have been thinking of food. Well last night I went to bed thinking of what I would cook. I fell asleep not knowing what I would cook. Well this morning I woke up with 2 unexplainable words in my mind. FRENCH DIP!
Why they were there I just don't know. I usually don't order it at the restaurants. Why? Well It comes on soft bread with little taste and with a weak flavored "au jus".
What good is that. Well I got up out of bed and started trying to figure out how to make it better. I looked and looked for a good recipe. None really appealed to me, but, a few had things to it I liked. Well after some thought I finally combined 3 different recipes into one. At the store I found some hard crusty rolls. Now the beef is in the crockpot. Recipes will follow when all is done.
Also I just couldn't think of what spread to put on the rolls. A good mustard you would think. Well so did I! I found a good recipe for that as well and now have a nice homemade spicy garlic mustard resting in the fridge!

| The mustard!
Hot Mustard Sauce
4 Tablespoons dry mustard powder
1 Tablespoon white wine vinegar
2 Tablespoons flat beer
1 clove garlic
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
1 Tablespoon olive oil (optional)
Whisk together dry mustard, vinegar and beer. Use a garlic press or a large pair of pliers to squeeze the juice from the clove of garlic into the mixture. Stir in sugar, salt and turmeric. To make smoother and less hot, add olive oil to taste.

| We had a grilled veggie medley (corn, broccoli, yellow squash, zucchini, red onion, and green beans) served with a balsamic vinegarette and red skin potato salad for sides. I was too busy eating to snap any pictures and by the time I thought about it... it wasn't a pretty picture.
