Salmon Dip for Emergency Use Only

Emergency! Emergency!

Neighbours are coming back for unplanned dinner after a glass or two of wine or a couple of G&T's ... Emergency!!!

Salmon Dip for Stacy's Parmesan, Garlic & Herb Chips!

1 can of salmon (drained - feed liquid to your kitties)

1/2 cup sour cream (or what you have left in your reefer from dinner a night or so ago)

1/2 cup smoked salmon cream cheese

juice of one lemon

1/2 tsp crushed garlic

1 tsp fresh dill

Several grindings of black pepper

Several dashes of Chipotle Tobasco - to taste

I mushed this with the immersion blender which made it a bit gloppy. Mashing with a fork would probably be a better way to go.

Honey/Mustard Sauce for Chicken

Made this up today - since the other recipes I found for honey/mustard sauce all called for honey and I didn't have any - except for an unopened jar of "chili honey" that I got for Christmas. It's spicy, warm, and sweet. So, here goes:

Mix all ingredients together:

1/4 cup melted butter

1/4 cup chili honey

2 heaping tablespoons (or to taste) EACH of:

Orange chipotle mustard

Sweet grainy mustard (has maple syrup in it)

Cheap, regular French's mustard

2 cloves of crushed garlic

While chicken is cooking, baste it with the sauce every 10 - 15 minutes or so.

Of course, I have not yet actually COOKED the chicken - but the sauce sure tastes good in the bowl! You could probably do without the butter, but why?

UPDATE: As good as it was in the bowl, some of the flavour got lost in the cooking process. Original recipe called for one tablespoon of each mustard - not mustardy enough when cooked so I upped the mustards and added the garlic because garlic equals extra mustard in this particular instance.
