Trendy New Eatery Challenges Customers to "Show Me the Mustard!" Tayste Turns National Mustard Day Into Month-Long Celebration
Thornwood, NY (ContentDesk) August 7, 2006 -- Eric Rosenbaum, owner of Mamaroneck Avenues most delicious new eatery, believes that condiments are not simply accoutrement; they are a way of life. Tayste (www.tasyte.com), Rosenbaums dream, came to fruition as a funky eatery which not only has a delicious and varied menu, but also specializes in condiments. Tayste has over 50 different kinds of mustard and ketchup, making it the largest collection of condiments in Westchester. To this end, Rosenbaum is challenging the public: A free hot dog awaits anyone who brings in a brand or variation of mustard that Tayste doesnt already carry! Needless to say, Rosenbaum takes his condiments very seriously, so National Mustard Day is not something that Tayste takes lightly.Some of Taystes more exotic mustards include fruit-based mustards like cranberry mustard and raspberry mustard, which are great with turkey burgers and veggie burgers. Rosenbaum recommends basic mustard for sausages because they are already so spicy.Other interesting mustards Tayste carries include Hit and Run Sinus Searing Horseradish, Normal Bishop Dill & Garlic mustard, Lees Insane Pepper mustard, and Vermont Epicurean Country Habanero mustard.
Rules to the Show Me The Mustard challenge are as follows: Only one challenge per customer is allowed for the month. If Tayste does not have the exact type of mustard the challenger is presenting, he/she will be awarded with one (1) free hot dog.
Tayste is located at 116 Mamaroneck Avenue, between E. Post Rd. and Quarropas St., and is open from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
Tayste also offers catering for large and small gatherings, including office lunch, and will deliver any order $100 or more. Call (914) 683-6111 for details. Please read on for some magnificent mustard facts: " Canada produces about 90 percent of the worlds supply of mustard seed." Mustard plants produce about 1,000 pounds of seed per acre" At Yankee Stadium, on average, more than 1,600 gallons, plus two million individual packets of mustard are consumed a year" Over 700 million pounds of mustard are consumed worldwide each year (compiled from The Herbalist in the Kitchen by Gary Allen)" Mustard documentation goes back as early as 6th century BC. Pythagoras mentioned mustard as treatment for scorpion bites.
Egyptians are said to have eaten mustard seeds by chewing them with meat." The origin of the term mustard? One theory comes from France.
The Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Bold, gave the town of Dijon a coat of arms in 1382 with the motto Moult Me Tarde based on the words Multum Ardeo I ardently desire.
The motto was adopted by the towns mustard-makers, who changed the motto into Moul-tarde or to burn much." What famous conqueror sent his adversary a sack of mustard seeds for intimidation? Alexander the Great.
Darius, King of Persia, sent Alexander a bag of sesame seeds meant to suggest the number of Darius troops. In response, Alexander sent Darius a bag of mustard seeds, not only because of their size (mustard seeds are smaller than sesame), but also because they were more potent and fiery than sesame." Mustard heat vs. pepper heat: The sensation of heat from mustard comes from a volatile oil that is released when the mustard seed is mixed with water.
In very hot mustards, the heat travels up the nose and causes the eyes to water.
The heat then dissipates.
Pepper is concentrated in the mouth, so the heat does not dissipate and can be cumulative.

The most important and difficult stage of goal-building is the immediate stage after you set your goals. In the first stage, there's a brief blip of euphoria. But this soon passes and then you hit the arid plateau of learning. It's in this phase that most people lose their way and give up.

Seeds to Consider After a Prostate Cancer Diagnosis - Advice On Treatment Alternatives
Unlike their female counterparts who are proactively involved in their breast cancer treatment, men often fail to be fully informed of the treatment options for their prostate cancer prior to making a decision because they do not seek a second opinion. Prostate cancer patients opting for radical prostatectomy as recommended by their urologist, may be suitable candidates for less invasive procedures according to Dr. Kirk Kanady, Medical Director of Houston Prostate Cancer Centers. Innovative treatments are making it possible for men to live long and healthy lives following their diagnosis.
The current treatment options for prostate cancer include:
cryotherapy, radical prostatectomy (surgical removal), external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy (seed implants).
"To be fully informed a prostate cancer patient should see a Urologist to discuss surgical options but and also see a Radiation Oncologist to discuss external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy,"...
