Everything is right with this recipe for pickled mustard seeds, especially the end result. Use on bread when making sandwiches. Or add a dollop to scrambled eggs. So far my favourite way is to use them when making Welsh rarebit.
Head straight on to the Recipe For ♥ Pickled Mustard Seeds ♥
One of the most influential people I worked for taught me many life lessons. To this day, the work ethics he imparted have stuck with me. He emphasised that to get anything out, you had to put something in. I learnt that hard work is rewarded. And, with loyalty comes responsibility. But the best lesson I learnt was one of response. When asked a question, just reply! For my day-to-day communication I tend to use WhatsApp. This has to do with the fact that many people I ‘talk’ to are not in the same time zone as I am. I can leave a message when I have time, or when I am thinking of them. And they can reply when they see the message. But, sometimes I will ask a question and not get a response at all.

This can cause my mind to work overtime when the question is ‘are you OK?’. Most of my contacts no longer have the little blue ticks to show when my message has been read. My mom tells me this is very frustrating and so for her I use emojis. A blue circle and a black tick (the pest) to replace the two little blue ticks. At least she knows I have seen the messages she has sent me that don’t need a response. Some of my contacts no longer show when they were last online. This is where I get worried, as I don’t know if the lack of reply means they are dead or just not responding! Or maybe something really is wrong. Do you use WhatsApp? Do you still show the little blue ticks and when you were last online?

Tandy, here in Southern Sweden senaps (mustard) is hugely a part of our diet and mustard seed pesto (as we call it) is wonderful. However, I’ve never made it with turmeric and sumac, but will soon.
love WhatsApp. It’s my lifeline to my kids, grandkids and friends living in the USA. Our kids talk with us every weekend and we get to see them and hear them and almost hug them. Best of all, so far, it’s free. No blue dots on our WhatsApp.
I love being able to talk to my nieces in Australia through WhatsApp – it has made the distance seem smaller 🙂
I’ve never seen this before and what a great idea! I can see using them on so many things! I’m going to have to hunt for a couple of these ingredients here though. Thanks for sharing this!
Hope you enjoy them as much as I am 🙂
Never heard of Sumac.. had to look it up.. 😉
I love it
What a great recipe Tandy and with lots of delicious uses. I use Whatsapp a lot now to communicate with our overseas family. I thought the two blue ticks just automatically happened when my message was read. Not sure how to do the blue circle? I’ll have to look at what else I can do with it .
Take a look in your emojis 🙂
I have never used WhatsApp. I usually text or use Instagram or Facebook messaging.
Is this recipe like a whole grain mustard? I canned a number of mustards a few years back which was really fun (and tasty)! This looks spectacular! Surprisingly, it’s the second time I’ve seen sumac as an ingredient recently.
It’s like a thick, tangy, wholegrain mustard.
