"Emergency" Cocktail Sauce

[Barbara L]

I needed cocktail sauce today but only had ketchup. I looked a little more and found a little deli mustard (with horse radish). So I blended the last of the deli mustard with the last of the ketchup. It actually wasn't too bad! Not quite as much of a bite as I like, but it was like mild cocktail sauce.

sounds good to me. necessity is the mother of invention

Some of my best meals were made like that! Now, if only necessity were also the mother of memory...I can't always remember what I did

Maybe adding a few drops of Tabasco would have kicked it up a notch if you didn't have an horse radish or wasabi to add to it.

We always make our own cocktail sauce out of catsup, a squeeze of lemon, and horseradish. I keep horseradish on hand as I use it in several sauces.

Yes, necessity is definitely the mother of invention! I have had to become very creative in the last few months, and almost all of my creations have been good. There was only one that neither James or I liked, and I can't even remember what it was! I just remember (I think!) that it had tuna in it. Some were things that I would have never tried, but I am glad I did, especially the Jello pancake peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! Yum!
