Presidential Election Cycle (Theory) DEFINITION of 'Presidential Election Cycle (Theory)'. A theory developed by Yale Hirsch that states that U.S. stock markets are weakest in the year following the election of a new U.S. president. According to this theory, after the first year, the market improves until the cycle begins again with the next presidential election.
Powdered mustard is simply finely ground mustard seed. Originally mustard was called Sinapis. Some claim that during Roman times the word Sinapis started to be replaced by words such as Mustum, Mustarum, and Mustardum as new wine, or Must was mixed with mustard seeds to make a paste.hite and brown seeds are blended to make English mustard. Brown mustard seeds are similar in size to the black variety and vary in color from light to dark brown and are more pungent than the white, less than the black.
Dry mustard is just that: dry ground mustard seed. It is used as a seasoning for vegetables, meat and in pickling. It can be found on the spice aisle of a grocery store. Prepared mustard is made with ground mustard seed (i.e., dry mustard), vinegar and water. Sometimes you can substitute dry and prepared mustard for each other. Here is a general guideline: When a recipe calls for 1 tablespoon prepared mustard, use 1 teaspoon dry mustard. Some suggest adding a dash of vinegar to the dry mustard for better taste. (When you need a substitute for 1 teaspoon dry mustard, you can use 1 tablespoon prepared mustard.) Hope this answers your question.
