Linda,
Thanks. I do recall the discussion. I guess it didn't register since what I
have are not powder but bottles of mustard seed. I once did make a coarse
(and quite hot) mustard with some of these seeds, but I seem to have
misplaced whatever I was using for a recipe. Its a good chance that the
recipe came from this list, so maybe someone can resubmit it or direct me
to the proper archival repository.
I guess one could grind the seed to powder, possibly after toasting, though
I have no source to go on with this.
Any more suggestions?

Peter and pods,
Making mustard is easy and I think it was discussed here a week or so
ago. I have, for the first time, made homemade mustard and once you
do, you will never buy store brand again!
I first visited the Penzey's website to see what they had for mustard
recipes. I then went out and bought dry mustard (at first I thought
that Coleman's was the only brand....they are expensive!), but found
ground mustard even in the dollar store. All you have to do is mix 1
cup mustard powder with equal parts of water and vinegar (or you can
use beer, wine, etc. for part of the liquid), some honey, salt and I
of course, added minced hot peppers. Mix in a non reactive bowl and
store in glass containers. I let it sit for a few days, weeks is
better. This stuff will take your fillings out. We just dip in
pretzels and eat straight from the jar.
Have fun with it. Everyone I know wants me to make it for them.
Linda
