August 1 is National Mustard Day, and no better time for Tidbits to examine the particulars on this favorite condiment. • The word “mustard” actually means two things –it refers to the actual spice itself as well as to theconcoction made from the tiny seeds of the plant. The seedsmeasurebetween1and2mm,about1/8inchindiameter. There are three different kinds of mustard plants – black mustard, brown Indian mustard, andwhiteoryellowmustard.Theseedsareground,cracked,orleftwhole,thenmixedwithsalt,water,lemonjuice,orvinegar,alongwithsomeflavoringsandspicesthatgivethepasteasweetorspicytaste.Itdoesn’tbecomean aromatic substance until the seeds are cracked and mixedwithliquid.Thisactivatestheoilsinthemustardseed that gives it its taste and smell.

• It’sbelievedthattheancientRomanswerethefirsttoconcoct prepared mustard. Their blend consisted of groundseedmixedwithunfermentedgrape juiceandspices. The juice was known as “must,” and whenmixed with the seeds, it became “burning must,” ormustumardens,whichwasshortenedtomustard.Theyaddedcaraway,coriander,dill,celery,thyme,oregano,honey, vinegar, and oil.

• The ancient Egyptians considered mustard seeds asymbol of good fortune. Seeds were placed in KingTut’stombforhisnextlife.

• TotheGreeks,mustardwasconsideredamedicinalitem long before its use with food. The writingsof Hippocrates recommended mustard paste as a remedy for muscle aches, toothaches, to help clear sinuses, and increase blood circulation. French monksalsousedittotreatwounds.

• The Bible’s New Testament books of Matthew,Mark, and Luke all feature the Parable of theMustard Seed, used by Jesus as a symbol of the KingdomofGodstartingfromatinybeginningandgrowingquickly into somethingvery large. Jesuswas referencing the fact that themustard seed isthe smallest seed that his listeners planted in the ground,onewhichgrewto20feet(6.1m)injustafewyears.Healsousedtheseedinrelationtoaperson’sfaith,saying,“…ifyouhavefaithassmallas a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Movefromheretothere,’anditwillmove.”

• Everybitof themustardplant isedible, fromtheleaves (knownasmustardgreens) to thestems tothe seeds. Just one acre of mustard produces one tonofseed,whichinturnproduces1,940lbs.(880kg)ofmustardflour,which is turned into10,490lbs.(4,758kg.)ofwetmustard,whichcanproduce47,600 jars of mustard. There are about 100,000seeds in one pound (0.45 kg) of yellowmustardseeds.

• Ofthemorethan700millionpounds(317,514,659kg)ofmustardeatenaroundtheworldeveryyear,Americans are the greatest consumers. InYankeeStadium alone, in one season of baseball, more than 1,600 gallons are consumed, and that’s not evencountingthe2,000,000littleindividualpackets!

• The most familiar type of mustard is yellow, amixtureofyellowmustardseed(themildestofalltypes), vinegar, water, turmeric, salt, cloves, andcoriander. It’s the turmeric thatgives themustarditsbrightyellowcolor.Spicybrownmustardusesmuch the same ingredients, but the brown seedgives the paste amuchmore pungent flavor.Hotmustard uses brown or Indian seeds, and addsallspice, tarragon, and other seasonings.

• Dijon mustard originated in Dijon, France, andblends brown mustard seed, vinegar, water, salt,and tarragon. The addition of white wine to themix is what gives this smooth-textured mustardits distinctive taste. In 1855, Maurice Grey wasproducing an award-winning Dijon mustard andhad invented a machine that increased the speed ofprojection.However, he lacked thefinances tomake it successful.AnotherDijonmustardmakerAugustePouponprovided the funds, and thepairmanufactured the first Grey Poupon mustard inDijonin1866.

exercise regimen, you may have weakness specifically in your thighs -- what we call “proximal muscle weak-ness.” There is a very long list of medical illnesses that affect these muscles specifically (my textbook lists 28 different diagnoses), including common conditions such as low thyroid levels and vitamin D deficiency. I would recommend a visit to your doctor for a careful exam of your nerves and muscles to see if my suspicion is correct. Your doctor may suggest a trial of vitamin D.

If no medical cause is found, I would work specifically on strengthening the hip muscles, which extend the thighs. A trainer at the gym can show you those exercises.

Woman Is Fit, Yet Can Barely StandIhave this removedsurgically,orwill iteventuallydisappear?--S.D.ANSWER:A hemorrhoid, a normal vascular struc-

ture, can develop a blood clot (“thrombosis”), and then can be exquisitely painful. Often, the clot is removed at the time of examination, giving immediate relief. In most cases, the clot will be reabsorbed within a few days. However, in very large hemorrhoids, occasion-ally surgery is necessary.

There is some suggestion that thrombosed hem-orrhoids may indicate a higher risk for colorectal cancer. You should be sure that you have had a recent colonoscopy.

Make Yummy Brownies in a Waffle Iron

Looking for an easy last-minute chocolate-y dessert idea that doesn’t require heating up the oven on a hot summer day? Here’s a clever idea you and your kids will enjoy — make yummy homemade brownies in a waf-fle iron. Then top them with fresh sea-sonal fruit like raspberries, or scoop some vanilla ice cream on top. Yum!

Here’s how to make the kid-pleasing all American chocolate treat in this off-kilter way:

WAFFLE-IRON BROWNIES 3/4 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon baking powder Dash of salt 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, melted and cooled 2 eggs, slightly beaten 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1. In a mixing bowl, let your kids measure and combine the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder and salt. In another bowl, combine butter, eggs and vanilla. Add the wet ingre-dients to the dry ingredients and stir with a big spoon until combined, being careful not to overmix. It will be a thick consistency.

2. Generously spray or brush a waf-

fle iron with oil and set on medium heat. When ready, an adult may spoon some of the brownie mixture on the waffle iron. I use an ice-cream scoop. Vary the amount according to the size of your waffle iron so that it doesn’t spill over the sides when closed.

3. When the batter is baked (our fam-ily likes them crispy on the outside), carefully remove the “waffle brownie” out of the waffle iron with a spatula and cool slightly on a rack or plate.

4. To serve: Sprinkle serving portions of a warm waffle brownie with sift-ed confectioner’s sugar, raspberries, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fudge sauce. Store leftover brownies in an airtight container or in your freezer. Makes four 7-inch round waffles

Shortcut idea: Use your favorite commercial brownie mix. I used fam-ily-size Pillsbury Chocolate Fudge brownie mix for delicious results.

KETCHUPNo matter how you spell it, ketchup is one of theworld’s favorite condiments. Most labels today arespelledeither“ketchup”or“catsup,”butovertheyear,other manufacturers have used catsip, cotsup, katshoup, cackchop, kotpock, and cutchpuck, among others. • Ketchuphaditsbeginnings

in Asia, originally as a spicy fish sauce made ofanchovies, mushrooms, walnuts, and kidneybeans,andnamedke-tsiap.British sailors brought the concoction home in the 1600s and it becameknown as catchup. Thefirst English version ofketchupwaspublishedina1727cookbook,callingforanchovies, shallots, whitewine vinegar, whitewine,mace, ginger, and cloves. Tomatoesweren’taddedtothemixuntilthelate1700s.Theentryinthe1913Webster’sDictionarydefines“catchup”asa“tablesaucemadefrommushrooms,tomatoes,andwalnuts.”

• Theaveragepersonconsumesaboutthreebottlesofketchupeveryyear.About97%ofAmericanhomeshaveabottleofketchupintheirrefrigerator.Ittakes

4 tablespoons of ketchup to equal the nutritionalvalue of one medium tomato.

• Most of the world’s ketchup is manufactured byHeinz,Hunts,andDelMonte.Heinzintroduceditstomatoketchup in1876.Today,Heinz sellsmorethan 650 million bottles of ketchup and about11 billion individual packets every year. They purchase about 2 million tons of tomatoes everyyear to produce their blend. However, ketchupwasn’tHeinz’firstproduct.Thecompanyhadbeenselling bottled horseradish for seven years before introducing ketchup.

• Everwonder how fastHeinz ketchup flows fromthebottle?Itsspeedisabout0.028mph(0.045km/hr),whichtranslatestoabout0.5inch(1.3cm)persecond.That’s about the same speed as a typicalgardensnail.Ifyouwantyourketchuptocomeoutfaster,putadrinkingstrawdowntothebottomofthebottle.Thiswillallowairflowtothebottomandmaketheketchupflowmoreeasily.

• In 1975, Heinz featured the Carly Simon hit“Anticipation” in their television advertising,boasting about “the taste that’s worth the wait.”In 1983,Heinzmade it easier by introducing theplasticsqueezablebottle.Itwasn’tuntil2002thatthe packaging featured the upside-down plasticbottle.

•Knowwhyketchuptastessogood?It’s25%sugar!It’salsohighinsalt,withjustoneteaspooncontainingabout10%ofthemaximumdailyrequiredamount

ofsodium.Thegoodnewsisthatketchupisagoodsourceoftheantioxidantlycopene,whichhasbeenshowntohelppreventprostateandcoloncancers.

•Ketchupisn’tjustforyourhotdog.Duetoitsacidityfrom tomatoes and vinegar, it’s an inexpensivecleanerofcopperandbronze.Coattarnishedpotsand pans, lamps, or jewelry with ketchup, let itstand for 10 minutes, and rinse it off.Althoughketchup can also shine up stainless steel sinks and silverware,itcanruinsilverwareifit’sleftonfortoolong.Rinseitoffafterjust10minutes.Ketchupcan also restore blonde hair that has turned green from too much exposure to chlorine.

• Althoughfolksloveketchuponjustaboutanything,surveys indicate that it ranks third in popularity among condiments, with mayonnaise and salsaedging it out.
