Things I learned tonight: It is a bad idea to add indiscriminate amounts of tapioca starch to mustard to try to thicken it. It really doesn't work nearly as well as one might think -- though perhaps it was my application that was faulty, and not the theory.

Also, it's a mistake to replace mustard seed with minced garlic -- the flavor is great, but the texture is all wrong.
