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.
At its most basic, mustard is made by mixing the ground seeds of the mustard plant with liquid, but it's the choice of seeds and type of liquid used that creates the varieties of mustard we know today. The magic of mustard's pungency and heat comes from enzymes that convert into mustard oil once the seed is broken.he use of wine instead of vinegar, and brown and black seeds instead of yellow, makes many whole grain mustards pack a punch. I personally love the extra texture and bite of a whole grain mustard, and it's my go-to choice for cheese plates or ham sandwiches.
