 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       tb           Dry mustard -- (Chinese)
  2       tb           Tabasco sauce
  3       oz           Cream cheese, room temp
  3       tb           Mayonnaise

 1. Place the mustard powder in a small bowl and stir
 in enough Tabasco sauce to obtain a thick paste.  Let
 stand for 3 minutes.

 2.  Combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise in a
 mixing bowl and whisk until smooth.  Whisk in as much
 mustard mixture as you dare! Refrigerate, covered,
 until serving time. Any leftover sauce will keep,
 refrigerated, for 1 week.

 This dip was toned down with the mayonnaise and cream
 cheese from the original from John D. MacDonald's
 book, Dreadful Lemon Sky (with Travis McGee and Meyer,
 his brainy friend) called Meyer's "Superior Cocktail
 Dip" a virulent mixture that has been known to make
 the unsuspecting "leap four feet straight up into the
 air after scooping up a tiny portion on a potato
 chip." This dip is good not only for potato chips, but
 for all manner of fritters and crudites.

 Taken from the Miami Spice cookbook received in the
 May swap from Nikki Bennett.  Great book!!!
