There is nothing like running out of a beloved condiment in the midst of making a masterpiece sandwich, when it’s blaring cold outside and you have lost all motivation to drive anywhere for any reason. Arrrgh! What on earth is one to do? The way I see it … you have one of 3 options. Option A) get over it and go to the store; B) do without; C) make your own damned mustard.

We’re going to explore option C. Now, I realize that this may simply be silly to some of you. But, you don’t understand the depths of creation behind this sandwich. I need my mustard and I need it NOW. Here goes!

Homemade stone ground mustard + a sandwich saver!

What you’ll need:

• 4 tbsp black mustard seeds
• 4 tbsp ground mustard
• 1 1/2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup water

What you’ll do:

1. Using a mortar & pestle, grind the mustard seeds.
2. Add ground mustard, vinegar, and salt
3. Add water last
4. Refrigerate and you’re all set to use (sandwich is saved)
5. Enjoy!
