Pardon me, do you have any yellow Alstertor?

If we show up early we can help. You supply the wine or scotch. I take "cook with wine" quite literally esp' if I'm the cook. I like dry red. :-)

Dry red; a man after my own heart.  By the way, Laphroaig is the current Scotch.  There is also Old Overholt Rye for a change of pace.

Oh, wait, we were talking about cooking with mustard, weren't we?  Hmm, what mustard would go with a nice shiraz?

Found it...



Haven't tried it yet, but I'll report back when I do.

Yep, that's the stuff.

Wow, I thought I was the only person in the world who likes Old Overholt. I like it a lot. Freddy, you're making forget about the mustard!

And I thought I was the only one!  I have tried one or two other ryes that are smoother, and are even more expensive, but I still prefer Old Overholt.  Now I not only have to figure out what mustard goes with a dry red wine but which pairs nicely with Old Overholt.

I like the Alstertor  a lot. Looks like the glass mug it came in will be empty soon. Seeing how I also really like Old Overholt I think I'll drink it from the Alstertor cup. That's providing I get some Overholt. The grocery stores don't have it; I'll have to go to one of the big liquor stores.

OK, I'll now start doing my part in the quest for a mustard that pairs well with Old Overholt.

Well, I saw a couple of different brands of mustard in the International Food section at the grocery store. I got two of them. One was about $4.50 for a 3.5 oz bottle; very small. Its called Colman's Original English Norwich Mustard and the label says it is made in Great Britain. The other was about $6.00 and comes in a 9.3 oz bottle Its called Lowensenf Extra and is made in Düsseldorf. OOPS, as I read the bottle's fine print I see it is extra hot. Oh well, I'll just consider this as taking one for the team; the Mustard Tasting Team that is. I'll probably open the English in a couple of days when I get some Overholt and will report back with my findings.
