(00:00):
Eric.
(00:01):
Mariela.
How are you my friend?
I'm good.
How are you?
I'm amazing.
And I was just thinking like you're probably not going to know this reference, but when I say
mustard, what do you think of?
Nothing.
Pop culture.
Kendrick Lamar.
Is a rapper.
And he makes music that like has like I want to say it's like ADHD stims in it where people
(00:21):
just like repeat things.
I don't know like it's a thing right when you have ADHD you kind of like have one thing
in your head and you repeat it often.
Right.
So like a lot of his songs have this so he has this one song which I can't even fucking
remember what it's called maybe peekaboo.
I don't remember in the middle of it.
He just like says mustard and that's all I could think of when I was making mustard.
Yeah.
I don't think I have ever fully heard of Kendrick Lamar songs.
(00:42):
Oh man.
He's awesome.
You should really get into it.
I know it's not your scene because you like still listening to Celine Dion.
Okay.
Everybody says I listen to Celine Dion.
I don't.
I have other music that I enjoy listening to and I haven't asked you the other day if you
want to go to a cold play concert.
Okay.
Yeah.
I said maybe.
Okay.
So does that like cold play?
(01:05):
No, I do.
Fair enough.
How have you seen what they do in their concerts?
It's fucking amazing.
And so I said we'd like to go see cold play because I would like to go see you too but I
don't think you would go see you too with me.
I'd go anywhere with you baby.
That's a fucking life.
But I hate.
I'd make fun of you the whole time but I'd definitely go.
Exactly.
(01:26):
I'm also leaving on the side of the road at that point.
Which you would do by the way.
I absolutely would.
With friends like these I tell you which I have never left on the side of the road.
Just select everybody now.
I have.
Now I'm actually thinking my head if I have you see who you're thinking about it too,
aren't you?
We have gotten to some fights in a car before.
So I don't think I've ever left you on the side.
(01:48):
Now have I maybe forgotten to pick you up before?
That's.
I'm just.
Or that I came late to an airport absolutely.
But have I left the road now?
Lucky for you I have a terrible memory and I think that's why we're still friends.
And a terrible direction so you still need me to pick you up even if I've even.
(02:11):
All right.
Okay.
So I made mustard and honestly when Eric first told me he wanted me or I wanted to make
mustard I'm like what the fuck was to make mustard just go buy it and he was.
He said to me something that kind of resonated which was you know the good mustard is like
$7 a bottle.
Yeah.
You know like it's fucking right like you can go buy mustard for a buck but it's going to
be like you know turmeric and vinegar in a squeeze bottle which is fine right because I
(02:35):
still like that stuff by the way on a hot dog like there's nothing better than mayo on
hot dog.
I mean not me mustard on a hot dog the best.
I think the thing in the series moddy condiment polluza 2025.
I think the thing about the series is there's nothing wrong in buying bottled condiments
or something wrong or things like that.
Look if I was having a birthday party for my kid and there's you know 25 kids running
(02:59):
around with their parents I'm not going to fucking sit here and make homemade ketchup, homemade
mustard things like that.
I'm going to buy it in the bottle.
So there is a place for it and you know and not everybody has a time to do this or all
the ingredients.
So there's nothing.
I don't know.
I just want to make sure I'm not food shaving somebody.
I don't know.
Listen again like and I don't buy fancy mustard often because it is expensive.
(03:24):
And there's always fancy mustard in my home.
I love fancy mustard.
I know you do.
But I love fancy mustard.
I buy you know what I do do I buy.
Do you think I do do?
All right.
I'll buy like Dijon and spicy brown but I'll buy like the city Wal-Mart kind just so I
(03:45):
have it because I do enjoy like a depth of flavor that maybe like isn't like the good
whole grain mustard but it's something different.
I do do that.
You said do do again.
I know but it's true.
I do it.
It's so cool.
Do you know who has a really good mustard?
Okay so I don't grainy mustard.
I don't like whole grain mustard.
I don't have nothing against it like I'll so eat it but it's not my favorite.
(04:06):
I love really really like clear your nose out spicy Dijon mustard.
And I'm not talking about like the epitome of like fanciness which is grape who pawn
back in the 90.
Excuse me.
Okay as we get older just let you know there's a lot better out there but a really fucking
(04:27):
good Dijon mustard that Trader Joe's and I know it was all behind here but it is a really
fucking good mustard and it is a really decent price for a Trader Joe's item.
It's a little higher priced but I'm telling you it is like really good.
You can't get it and it's going to be a hell of a lot cheaper than when you buy a high
and mustard out of more mainstream grocery store or out of Whole Foods or something like
(04:50):
that.
It's really really good.
Trader Joe's is really great at bringing luxury to people like us.
Yeah no absolutely.
That's exactly that's probably a really well stated statement.
There was a eight I was seeing on TikTok and let's not get into my fields about this
right now.
But a cheese monger went to Trader Joe's to point out so I wish I could oh well no guess
(05:15):
what I can't fucking find it you know.
But when the Traders actually started pointing out really good high end cheeses.
Yep.
That are really low prices that people don't realize how good it is at low prices so if
you have time don't go on a weekend it's fucking slammed.
They have like 7 p.m. or a week they have like 1 p.m. just you know find their mustard go
(05:41):
through their seasonings.
Yeah their garlic powder is so good.
And they're seasonings they're like mario's favorite they're smoked paprika.
Which I need to buy by the way.
And if Trader Joe's can get their own brand of Maldon salt.
Well I think Maldon is like a brand name.
Right but they can get their own type and name it you know Trader salt.
(06:03):
They actually had one that I purchased but I can't remember like it's from a different
country or whatever but it's very close it's smaller but yeah.
Right.
Shop their cheese department.
It's good shit anyways mustard Trader Joe's go grab it.
All right let's go let's try.
Okay so I just want to say I went to my public because they had a Bogo sale on the spice
island brand spices which are really good and they're coming glass jars and I never buy
(06:29):
them because they're like kind of busy so I was really excited when they had a Bogo
on it when I needed to buy mustard seed but then I was also excited that the whole little
jar of mustard seed Keener was only like maybe five bucks which is pretty good.
Uh-oh that is good.
Okay so I made a smaller version like this made I want to say a half a cup of this mustard
(06:49):
which I think is a fair amount.
It is you use less mustard I would think than other condiments.
Right so this is the deal.
You get a quarter cup of your mustard seed.
I got just the yellow ones if you can find cooler ones have at it right because they exist.
Then I used an eighth of a cup of beer which I bought.
What's that beer called that I bought?
(07:10):
Peaboyle or Bud Light.
I'm trying to think about the classic things you drink.
Cours.
No it's a nicer beer.
Oh whatever.
Okay so a beer I bought a nicer beer because I just bought like a one of those big tins
you know like I don't know how many you just like.
I know that's like an old same like like what a wine you drink.
But this recipe by a beer you like by a beer that you're going to drink.
(07:32):
Yeah because you're not going to cook this right so you're going to really taste the beer.
So an eighth of a cup of beer and then I put a quarter cup of apple cider vinegar which
is what I always that's my household vinegar but you can use any vinegar that you have.
In fact if you have like a white wine vinegar you could use that.
Okay anything.
And then one sixteenth so I don't know that sounds kind of crazy.
(07:54):
So I want to say like one big tablespoon of honey.
I like that.
A quarter teaspoon of salt and about a sixteenth of a teaspoon of turmeric which is like half
of an eighth if you have one or just like a healthy pinch the turmeric is really there for
color.
Right.
Tumoric is what gives mustard that color that we're so familiar with.
So you put all that in a clean jar if you have one that you saved from your jelly jars
(08:17):
even better.
I love saving my jelly jars.
I am into this now.
How do you even look out?
I even look like listen the other day.
I was at H Mart.
I have people don't know it's a massive Korean market.
They have their stores all over the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic and I'm sure they're spreading
out everywhere but so I bought some food in it and it came like this like plastic container
(08:43):
and I even thought I'm ahead of my I bet you can wash this and reuse literally a piece
of tupperware.
Yes.
Anyways keep going.
I know.
I hear you but glass I'm not so much with the plastics because the plastic that they put
in food in isn't really healthy for you but I definitely do it with the glass.
So anyway you just put all the shit in the jar you shake it.
You obviously got to put a lid on it before you do that.
(09:04):
Then you shake it and then the beer you might need to release the gas so I opened it again.
Shut it down.
Put it in the fridge 24 to 48 hours after 24 hours.
I took it out because I wanted to make sure that it was good for y'all.
The taste is phenomenal.
I went ahead and blended it a little bit with my immersion blender because it adds a
bit of a creamier consistency.
I think I'm going to go in and blend it with the blender blender just to see what happens
(09:25):
next but quite frankly it won't change the flavor of it.
It's going to be the same flavor.
It's nice and spicy but the longer that it does sit the less spicy it becomes so it does
become milder.
I have never had a mustard that tastes this good ever and let's say you don't want beer
you can always add a wine to it instead.
I think the sense that the juzh of it is like kind of adding a little something that
(09:47):
you like to taste.
Do you have a lid?
What you say?
I use that word.
Which word?
Juzh.
Yeah, little sweetness with honey but I say you don't have honey.
I don't know what could you use instead maybe a little sugar.
A little sugar?
I think little pinch of brown sugar.
Why I'm sugar honey.
And that's it you guys.
That's how you make fucking mustard and guess what?
(10:07):
I made that fancy as mustard for I want to say maybe three four dollars.
Yeah.
I think that's pretty awesome and the flavor honestly is much better than anything I've
ever had from the store.
Yep.
I think it's great.
Do you really?
Yeah.
I think it's fantastic.
I personally love it and I like how easy it is.
I like how it only took you one day to make it.
(10:29):
And there's no cooking.
Is this pouring?
No, it's just pouring and there's shaking in a jar and that's it and then blending it up.
Pouring and whoreing, baby.
Just up your alley.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Good Wednesday night.
All right y'all.
That is mustard.
I don't know if I just blew your fucking mind but I am mind blown personally about this
mustard game.
I'm mind blown too.
Okay.
(10:49):
We're going to keep on with this condimentation situation.
We love you.
We'll catch you next time.
