HONEY MUSTARD
After making a Dagwood sandwich that would choke a horse, I went to add my favorite mustard. The father of one of my friends makes it homemade. Much to my dismay, I was out. I called my friend's dad for a refill and he not only gave me that, but also the recipe.

The Experience Weekend is a self-esteem building workshop which supports people to love themselves and tell the truth about who they are. Lectures, exercise and group discussions are designed to facilitate self-awareness and move participants into a more powerful and empowering experience of life.

"We know, often from childhood, that we experience love and sexual attraction in a way different from most people around us," says Thomas Cowan, author of a new book, Gay Men and Women Who Enriched the World. He adds: “Everyone who falls in love wants to share it with the world, shout it from the rooftops. Our society will not let us even talk about it.
"We are frustrated in not being able to express what makes us unique and special," Cowan continues, "so no matter what field we go into, we look for what is unique and special in that field and announce that to the world".
Because gays are less able to talk about themselves, the author believes, they tend to talk about their work. "And often, it appears that we are tremendously creative," he says. "But one theory is that sometimes creativity is born out of frustration."
The book, examining the lives of 40 personalities from Alexander The Great to Michael Bennett, is published by William Mulvey, Inc., at $17.95 and will be in bookstores by early April. ▼
