The thing is that many bacon dressings use mustard.
I would generally do so; if making it for you,
perhaps the amount of mustard would be minimized.

OK, a bit would be fine but don't give me a lot, smeared on a sandwich.

It's a strong acrid flavor, and I'm not a great
fan (though I do love some strong food
experiences that many don't, such as sizable
doses of hot pepper.

Mustard is, after all, worse - its active
ingredients have been used to kill people,
whereas pepper spray is about the worst they've
been able to come up with for capsaicin.

I remember the Brooklyn Dodgers and the big
stink caused when LA stole them away (partly
due to the unavailability of space for a new
stadium to replace the decrepit Ebbets Field).

And a few years later the Mets moved into the Polo Grounds until Shea
Stadium was built. I saw a couple of games there but haven't been to NYC
in many years,,,,,,,,,,well before Citi Field was built.

I was at Citi Field once but not for a game -
it was one of those banquets honoring someone
I hardly knew, and the food was bad. It was
an important enough event, though, that the
stadium was dedicated to our group for the
evening. I ate elsewhere later.

I'm afraid he's priced himself out of my
pocketbook by now.

Probably ours too, and we're not really into opera.

In which case no sense scrimping and saving, eh.

Not for him. I still would like to see Blue Man Group at some time but
ticket prices are high, even in NC. That's why we settled on the Piano
Guys, a compromise to see a show but a more affordable one.

Quite a different experience.

In Arizona plain water almost never passed my
lips - I could have taken credit for the survival
of a brewery or two, though.

Different tastes. I've been drinking a lot of tap water here--we do have
some flavored sparkling water with us.

Nowadays I'm drinking a lot more water; also
all sorts of nonalcoholic beverages, including
Lilli's Diet Pepsi once in a while.

No need to apologize for using penne - some people
like the thick tube pasta; they're just not my
favorite.

Steve was brought up with, so eats, all kinds of pasta. I was brought up
with just spaghetti and elbow macaroni so expanded my pasta eating when
we got married. Had to watch that it didn't expand me as well. (G)

I grew up with zucchini and don't eat it.

Probably not a fancy name to Hungarians.

One way to fancy up a dish without fancying
it up is to call it by some foreign name.

Spinach salad with warm bacon dressing

Slightly different than what I make--I use mung bean sprouts and water chestnuts in the salad. The dressing (IIRC, it's at home & we aren't)
has no mustard. It's an oil/vinegar/tomato sauce (ketchup?) and other
stuff I don't recall dressing. A friend, back in when we were in
Frankfurt, gave us the recipe.

I grew up with mung bean sprouts and water chestnuts
and generally don't eat them, either. I'd decline a
spinach salad with those adulterants! but would
accept such oddities as almond slivers and canned
mandarin orange segments.

Hi Michael,

The thing is that many bacon dressings use mustard.
I would generally do so; if making it for you,
perhaps the amount of mustard would be minimized.

OK, a bit would be fine but don't give me a lot, smeared on a

sandwich.

It's a strong acrid flavor, and I'm not a great
fan (though I do love some strong food
experiences that many don't, such as sizable
doses of hot pepper.

I still like the spicy brown mustard best.

Mustard is, after all, worse - its active
ingredients have been used to kill people,
whereas pepper spray is about the worst they've
been able to come up with for capsaicin.

Even the capsaicin can be pretty obnoxious, but not to the extreme that
mustard gas was.

I was at Shea for ball games--hot dogs were the meal of choice at the
time. IIRC, the last time I was there was so many years ago that hot
dogs were still the main fare in most stadiums.

True, but had to go with what the budget could take.

I'm still drinking a lot of water, with an occaisional Diet Coke. Had
one in Flagstaff the other day at a Del Taco with a carne asada classic burrito. That was good sized, and good--Steve said better than Moe's or Chipotle. He had a chipolte chicken burrito.

I didn't grow up with zucchini and eat it. I grew up with peanut butter

Mung beans and water chestnuts were not something I had while growing up either. Dad was such a meat and potatoes eater that he rarely ate
rice--one letter from home described how he and mom had to drive around
a good bit to find an open grocery store on a Sunday afternoon to buy
potatoes for that night's dinner. They lived in a rural place, smaller
than Newark so it was a challenge. I would have just done an altermative
to the potatoes.
