Northern Alabama White Sauce




Like its tomato- and mustard-based cousins, white barbecue sauce comes in shades ranging from porcelain to putty. There are also differences in consistency. Some sauces flow like fat-free milk, while others are more reminiscent of a creamy dressing. As for the ingredients, well, purists insist there are only four: mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, and coarsely ground pepper.
"Everyone says they have a special recipe, but there’s really no secret. You start with the basics, and you can’t go wrong," While mainly used on chicken we also use it to perk up salads and to top pulled pork sandwiches and grilled fish."
One taste and you’ll understand why Myra says, "no Southern home should be without it."





Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 1/4 cup white wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon coarsely ground pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Creole mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 teaspoons prepared horseradish

Preparation

Whisk together all ingredients until blended. Store in the refrigerator up to 1 week.




I really do need to be getting back to working on the house

I have found myself doing more and more surfing than working on the house.
We all have hobbies and I love surfing but for a year now the house has seen very little attention.
I mean there are two rooms upstairs which still need work, one need the floor done and a little electrical work, the other needs to be completely emptied, patched, and painted, but all I do is surf.

The first floor still has a lot of work required including the den and the bathroom...

I also need to repair the awning over the back door and insulate and sheet rock the garage. For some reason though I just surf

I have to have wires run for some new circuits but surfing comes so easy,

The real problem is the expense, all this surfing is costing me money.
 I just can't help myself

I just Love surfing
