Ten Mustards

Another day.  Another ten recipes to try.

Ahh, it's exhausting being me.  Exhausting, but strangely exhilarating.  Mouth watering, and in this case, a little mouth burning.

See, call me crazy, but I did not actually realize there were so many ways to prepare mustard.  Or, that mustard came in any color other than blinding yellow.  Or, that mustard in its not-yellow plastic container form is really warm on the tongue.

It's a day full of surprises.

Each of these recipes starts with the same base and gets customized from there for distinct flavors.
