This is mustard sauce I make when preparing corned beef Mustard Sauce: 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup flour 3 tablespoons dry mustard 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons salt dash ground red pepper, optional 2 cups milk 2 eggs, beaten 1/4 cup vinegar Mustard sauce: In a saucepan over low heat, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Add dry mustard, 1 tablespoon sugar, the salt, and red pepper. Cook, stirring, just until bubbly. Gradually stir in milk, stirring constantly until mixture thickens and boils, about 1 minute. Add about /2 cup of the hot mixture to the beaten eggs, then quickly stir egg mixture back into the hot mixture in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 1 minute longer. Remove from heat and stir in the 1/4 cup vinegar. Serve warm with corned beef. Makes about 2 1/2 cups of sauce

This was in our local paper last nite, and I tore out the recipe. Rotini Guacamole Pasta Salad 2 1/2 cups whole-wheat rotini pasta 1 avocado, peeled and pitted 1/2 cup fat-free or light sour cream 2 tbsp seeded and chopped jalapeno pepper 1 tbsp lime juice 1/2 tsp chili powder 1/2 tsp cumin 1/4 tsp salt and pepper 1 clove garlic, minced 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed 1 cup corn kernels, thawed 1 cup seeded, chopped tomato 1 cup chopped red pepper 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese Cook rotini. Drain and rinse under cold running water until cool. Drain well and set aside. Mash avocado with a fork until smooth. Blend avocado with sour cream, jalapeno, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, salt pepper and garlic until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Toss rotini with beans, corn, tomato, red pepper and avocado mixture until coated evenly. Sprinkle with green onions and cheese before serving. TIP: If making ahead, prepare salad mixture and all of the dressing except the avocado. For brightest colour, add ovocado to dressing at the last minute and toss just before serving. To thaw the frozen corn, place the kernels in the colander before draining the hot pasta.

Garlicky Shrimp with Asparagus and Lemon (Fine Cooking) 1 lb. shrimp (21 to 25 per lb.), peeled, deveined, rinsed, and patted dry 3/4 tsp. kosher salt; more as needed Freshly ground black pepper 1 lemon 6 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil 4 medium cloves garlic, thinly sliced 3/4 lb. asparagus, bottoms snapped off, halved lengthwise if thick, and cut into 2-inch lengths (2 cups) 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes 2/3 cup low-salt chicken broth 1/2 tsp. cornstarch Sprinkle the shrimp with a scant 1/4 tsp. salt and a few generous grinds of black pepper. Using a peeler, gently shave the zest in strips from the lemon, taking care not to get any of the bitter white pith. Squeeze the lemon to get 1 Tbs. juice. Put a 12-inch skillet (not nonstick) over medium-high heat for 1-1/2 minutes. Add 2 Tbs. of the oil and once it's shimmering hot, add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook undisturbed until the shrimp browns nicely, about 2 minutes. Flip the shrimp and brown the second side, about 1-1/2 minutes. Transfer to a large plate. The shrimp should be a little undercooked. Reduce the heat to medium, add the remaining 4 Tbs. oil and the garlic and cook, tossing, until the garlic starts to sizzle steadily, about 30 seconds. Add the asparagus, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp. salt and cook, tossing often, until the garlic is golden brown and the asparagus looks blistery in places, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, cover, with the lid ajar, and cook until the asparagus is just tender, 1 to 2 minutes. In a small dish, whisk together the cornstarch with 1 Tbs. water, stir into the asparagus mixture, and bring to a boil. Stir in the shrimp, reduce the heat to low, and cook, tossing, until the shrimp is opaque throughout (cut one in half to check), 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the 1 Tbs. lemon juice and then add salt, pepper, and additional lemon juice to taste. Serve immediately.
