Water w/lemon is my standard drink when dining out. And often at home
if I'm low on tomato juice.

When I had my cataract surgery my paperwork listed me as a "fall risk".
So, I asked about that. And I was told that it is standard for patients
over 70. (I'm 80).

I am more cautious now than when I was younger and often use a cane if
the footing is "variable" ... more for balance and steadiness than to
help with a limp. Sort of like a tight-rope walker's pole.   Bv)=

      Title: Circus Dog Mustard
 Categories: Sauces, Condiments
      Yield: 6 Servings
 
      3 tb Oil
      1 lg Onion; coarse chopped
      1 lg Bell pepper; coarse chopped
      2 cl Garlic; minced
    1/2 ts Celery seeds
    1/4 c  Dijon mustard
 
  In a large skillet, heat the oil and cook the onion and
  green pepper over medium-low heat, stirring often, until
  the vegetables are softened and tinged with gold, about
  10 minutes. Add the garlic and celery seeds. Continue to
  cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the mustard and cook,
  stirring, for 3 minutes to blend flavors.
  
  The mustard sauce can be used immediately or cooled and
  refrigerated, covered, for up to 2 days. Reheat gently
  to use.
  
  Notes: Makes about 2 cups; use for hot dogs, hamburgers,
  pork chops, and spareribs, fish steaks such as salmon or
  swordfish, or shrimp. We went to the circus every summer
  when I was a child. My fondest food memory is hot dogs
  on a bun slathered with golden pan-fried onions and
  peppers simmered in mustard.
  
  Summer and the circus are still magical times for me,
  so I have made this mustard for my children since they
  were little. They call it Circus Dog Mustard.
