W: I can see. Your face is very red! I'm used to it. I grew up eating spicy Chinese food. Don't you make any spicy sauces? M: My family is German. We do make mustard to eat with sausage. It's not like the stuff you buy at the store. It's real mustard, and it burns ...

I always want just the right amount of food. I don’t like a lot of tupperwares in my fridge with small portions of sauces or toppings that will sit there until the night before trash day when I chuck it into the trash can in my over-purging. This over-purging leads to another groc...
Today, I will offer six suggestions of sauces and relishes that will bring moisture, taste, and accentuate the flavors that come with grilled meats. Normally, I studiously avoid discussing grilling (and barbecuing for that matter) because it seems that when most people talk about “guys and fo...
