maychorianIn order to distract from the inevitable wank caused by the new episode (haven't watched yet, will soon), I thought it would be fun to share with you all my recipe for fantastic mustard-mayo-onion-poppy seed sandwich spread. It's a bit of my own creation and I LOVE it. It makes grilled cheese sandwiches DELICIOUS. It was also makes every other deli-type sandwich delicious. (Yes, this is the grilled cheese that I wanted to feed to Cas while I was watching 4.15.) When I lived by myself I would make it in small batches, but now that I'm at home I've gotten my whole family hooked on it, too, and I've had to up the ante.
It's easy. Just follow the very simple proportions:
2 parts mayonnaise
2 parts mustard
1 part onion powder
1 part poppy seeds
Stir until thoroughly mixed. Spread thinly on one slice of bread--add cheese and/or meat and another slice of bread and grill until hot. I like it with deli ham and sharp cheddar, pressed in a sandwich maker for three minutes, but just about anything will work. Also pretty good cold, but I do love my melty cheese. ::glazes over and starts to drool:: Mmmmmmm. Cheeeeeeeese.
::shakes head to clear cobwebs out:: So, right, when it was just me, for instance, I would use a tablespoon as the "part" in question, so the recipe was two tbsp mustard, two tbsp mayo, one tbsp onion powder, and one tbsp poppy seeds. Now it's more, like, a fourth cup. My family loves their sandwiches.
Mmm, I love spices. I wrote a blog entry about it on my xanga two years ago that still makes me smile.

So I went to the store specifically to buy a cucumber, eggs, milk, cinnamon, and maybe nutmeg. Yeah, right. I love spices, and now that I have my own place I have a good excuse to buy all kinds of them.
Ever have a conversation with yourself? While you were shopping? Last night I had one that went like this:
Rational Self: You really don't need this many spices.
Excited-by-Spices Self: Ooh! Rubbed Sage!
Rational Self: Do you even know what that is?
Excited-by-Spices Self: It's Sage. That has been Rubbed.
RS: But you aren't planning to make a recipe that calls for sage. Do you even KNOW any recipes that need sage?
EbSS: Yes--no--I don't know. Stop pestering me! I'm going to need it SOMEDAY. Maybe even next week! At some point I know I am going to come across a recipe that I will want to make, and it will need SAGE.
RS: (Exasperated sigh) Let's just get out of here. We're going to be late for the Easter program practice.
So I balanced my eight different kinds of spices on my arm, and went to the checkout. Waited in line behind an Amish lady with a cart piled high with Mountain Dew and Lays. Paid for my stuff. Looked at the receipt:
Rational Self: So how much did that sage cost?
Excited-by-Spices Self: ONLY SEVENTY-NINE CENTS! SCORE!
RS: ....
EbSS: WHOO!
RS: You win.
EbSS: Was there any rosemary back there?
I was late, but it was worth it. TOTALLY WORTH IT.
Yeah. I have a whole box now just of spices, sitting on a shelf in my parents' basement. ::le sigh:: And yes, I have yet to try a single recipe that calls for sage.
Okay, off to watch the episode now! ::girds up loins::
