I use powdered mustard in homemade sweet 'n' sour dipping sauce. I'm also
going to try to recreate something resembling pulled bbq pork like they have
in the south (I'm from Kentucky, but attending grad school in CA, and I
don't think I can wait until Thanksgiving for a bbq sandwhich). The rub
recipie I'm going to use calls for the powdered mustard.

I use the powdered ginger in my molasses/ginger cookies, and for the top
secret recipies honey-baked ham recipie. I tried using the fresh ginger
once for an experiment in chinese cooking, but most of it went to waste. I
don't prepare enough recipies often enough to really justify the waste. I
have some crystallized ginger on order from Penzey's for my next experiment
in chinese cooking.
