My current RAVE over mustards is Jack Daniels which would have worked great. This was a specialty German mustard -- stone ground and spicy. 1 tsp sea salt fresh cracked pepper rough chopped fresh garlic chives to garnish -- (scallions would work but I had garlic chives growing.) fine chopped fresh rosemary to garnish Toss all and rechill till ready to serve. Cook's Notes: The potatoes aren't going to turn to cream and dilute the tangy mustard like regular potato salad. This was different because I used new potatoes instead of the normal mealy bakers. I had boiled a saucepan full of new potatoes and had about 10 med sized ones left over. Chilled them and the next night had an interesting potato salad. Along with this potato salad, I baked chicken and slid rosemary and some chives between the skin and the meat. I've hated rosemary for years. Love the scent but didn't like the 'sticks' in cooking with them. Grow your own! The tender shoots growing on the tips cut perfectly and are easy to eat. And the woodier stems are great 'shishka bob's this summer.

Place all ingredients in a bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer. Set crust on light, if your machine has options for crust settings, program for sweet bread and press the start key. 2. After the baking cycle ends, remove the bread immediately from the machine to a cooling rack. Cool to room temperature before slicing. Yields 1 loaf, about 10 slices.

Recipe is from Veteran Bay Area baker/author Beth Hensperger's sixth book. Editor's note: Because of the inclusion of egg and milk, it is not advisable to use the delay cycle of the bread machine. Bread dough enhancers sold in many cookware shops work as well as gluten to ensure a light, fluffy loaf. Leftovers make great toast or positively sinful French toast. -- Karola Saekel, San Francisco Chronicle 02/10/99(Wed) * Her Mexican Chocolate Bread, made start to finish in the bread machine, is an utterly delicious loaf, every bite and bit as good as the much more labor-intensive Bread With Three Chocolates made the conventional way. This melding of tradition and innovation is one of the strong points of this book, which does an admirable job of convincing readers that they can create a sturdy loaf of cracked-wheat bread for everyday sandwiches or zucchini madeleines, a sophisticated snack/ appetizer that begs to accompany a bottle of crisp Chardonnay.

Instead of ground ginger, we pureed fresh. We also used less chicken than he suggested 6 instead of 9 ounces). Our version was thick enough to be called a stew and we added the lemon curd condiment. Cook's Notes: The brown basmati rice added a nuttiness. The lemon curd was like .... putting a hershey's kiss in a brown bag lunch! -pat Contributed to FareShare, February 6, 1999, Y2V2-5 PatHanneman at kitpath@earthlink.net Formatted in MasterCook by Art Guyer, thepoint@beachlink.com Subscribe to this list at http://fareshare.tripod.com - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Nutr.
