This sounds like an interesting combo. I have some stout in my refrigerator, just have to get some sushi and try this!

I found myself with only (blech) ) calorie bleu cheese dressing for my lovely baked hot wings. Tried dipping them in taco sauce. Very yum. And lower calorie to boot.

Mmm…taco sauce! Good idea!

To not t/j:

BBQ in spaghetti;

Ketchup in mashed potatoes;

Mustard mixed with scalloped potatoes.

[Here is the Leek and Swiss Chard Tart recipe.](http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Leek-and-Swiss-Chard-Tart-102382) I tried finding my review, but gave up. The mashed potatoes and leeks is something I just do on the fly.
