You just have to heat the water and peanut butter (microwave a little bit) and then whisk more. Maybe this falls into the category of "working too hard", but I do it. I generally make a giant batch (a cup of water, a cup of peanut butter) and then throw in a big mess of roasted eggplant and onion and so on. Presto, a week's worth of noodle-ready leftovers. In fact tonight would be a good night to do this. Hm. I *do* make peanut sauce with foofoo organic peanut butter.

Now I need to make something to try it with. As for cocktail sauce: it can be just as easy. Here is my just as useless recipe: 1 bottle of Heinz Chili Sauce (that glass bottle). 2-4 tablespoons of Horseradish, depending on how hot the horseradish is, and your taste. Start with only a couple, and add more to bring up the kick. 2-3 tablespoons of Lemon or Lime juice. I've used both, lemon is a little more subdued. Again, this should balance with the horseradish, and cut the bitterness. Ground Pepper to taste. Let it sit for an hour to better meld the flavours. If you have done it properly, you will never go back to store-bought cocktail sauce again. This sounds good. Now I need to make something to try it with.
