Hmmm. Interesting set of messages here. :-)

Sounds interesting. Was this with dried mustard, mustard seeds
(if so, yellow or brown?) or a prepared mustard? Does pounding
the steak just make it thinner and easier to roll? Or is there
more to it?

What is crostini? Sounds good, though.

> The New Years sideboard also contained caviar blinis

Is this done with a thin pancake batter or something specific? I
think the only pancakes I've ever had were the ones you put maple
(or imitation) syrup on. I do have some red caviar left over from using
it to decorate some food, so this might be interesting. Hmmm. or maybe
using a can of anchovies.
