Yellow mustard...Standard, ordinary American yellow mustard...What comes to mind at the mention of this condiment? To some it's the good old standby, and to others it's a boring culinary concoction. To me, strangely enough, I believe the different attributes of yellow mustard work to summarize my personality, interests and introspection expressed in this Internet chronicle we call a blog. Let me explain...
- Yellow mustard is quite ordinary. In a world of fast food and backyard grilling, it's familiar. Compared to other mustards, it's boring. Still even this ordinary, familiar and comparatively boring condiment has a bit of interest. It's slightly peculiar in taste. Much like this mustard, my thoughts and views are rather ordinary but peculiar enough to keep coming back.
- Cooking and all things food have become a bit of a hobby of mine, so there is a culinary connection with yellow mustard and my personal interests.
- Lastly, and maybe not as obvious, mustard seeds metaphors are used as a description of faith in the Bible. No matter what I do, I cannot deny that my Christian values and the influence that Jesus Christ has on me will not be conveyed. I do not do it to gloat or judge, it is a part of who I am.
I have no plans for this blog. As expressed in the title, this is an experiment. My hope is to entertain myself and, if lucky, entertain others; and I hope to challenge myself and, if fortunate, challenge others. There is no telling where this will lead, but I submit Yellow Mustard Experiment to the web that is worldwide.
