Bubba, where do I get a measuring cup or spoon for dashes and splashes?
The recipe sounds delicious! The printed title for the Maureen Dowd
article was spelled correctly. I doubt very much that she would have
permitted such a faux pas under (or over) her by-line.

Brimsen is no longer available in this neighborhood. When I first moved
here thirty years ago, Brimsen was sold all over the place and almost
every little grocery had a crockpot full of Liptauer, always made by the
owner of the store or someone else in the family. The spread could be
as mild as sweet butter or as fiery as something out of the Far East or
Mexico, but it was Liptauer and if it wasn't just what you expected, you
added this or that until it was just right and pleased your palate.
Butter and Cream Cheese took most of the fire out of the hottest Liptauer.
