Stone Ground Mustard

1/8c brown mustard seeds
1/8c yellow mustard seeds
1/4c cider vinegar
1/8c chardonney

Cover and soak 8 hours to 3 days.

Whiz half in the food processor with 1/2tsp brown sugar, and half with 2T honey. Let sit for 1-2 days (we did 2).

We like the honey mustard better (by far!) on brats, and I think I'll like the sugar version better in my egg salad. More mustard-y.

Salmon Croquettes

Recipe from The Evening Standard Book of Menus by X. Marcel Boulestin.

Mash together equal amounts cooked salmon and potato (We used a 6oz coho fillet and a 6oz Rooster potato). Add a small onion melted in butter (1T), an egg yolk, an egg white well whipped, and a small amount of cream (1T). Season with salt (1/4tsp), pepper (a sprinkle), and nutmeg (a sprinkle). Form into small balls and fry like any fritter.

I preferred patties; Dan liked the balls. We needed more salt, some cayenne, and maybe a little dill. Would be excellent as larger sandwich patties.
