Water w/lemon is my standard drink when dining out. And often at home
if I'm low on tomato juice.

When I had my cataract surgery my paperwork listed me as a "fall risk".
So, I asked about that. And I was told that it is standard for patients
over 70. (I'm 80).

I am more cautious now than when I was younger and often use a cane if
the footing is "variable" ... more for balance and steadiness than to
help with a limp. Sort of like a tight-rope walker's pole.   Bv)=

     Title: Circus Dog Mustard
Categories: Sauces, Condiments
     Yield: 6 Servings

     3 tb Oil
     1 lg Onion; coarse chopped
     1 lg Bell pepper; coarse chopped
     2 cl Garlic; minced
   1/2 ts Celery seeds
   1/4 c  Dijon mustard

 In a large skillet, heat the oil and cook the onion and
 green pepper over medium-low heat, stirring often, until
 the vegetables are softened and tinged with gold, about
 10 minutes. Add the garlic and celery seeds. Continue to
 cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard and cook,
 stirring, for 3 minutes to blend flavors.

 The mustard sauce can be used immediately or cooled and
 refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days. Reheat gently
 to use.

 Notes: Makes about 2 cups; use for hot dogs, hamburgers,
 pork chops, and spareribs, fish steaks such as salmon or
 swordfish, or shrimp. We went to the circus every summer
 when I was a child. My fondest food memory is hot dogs
 on a bun slathered with golden pan-fried onions and
 peppers simmered in mustard.

 Summer and the circus are still magical times for me,
 so I have made this mustard for my children since they
 were little. They call it Circus Dog Mustard.
