Move over Hellmann's...Hello Duke's


I have always been a Hellmann's mayonnaise lover. Always. Depended on it to always make the best potato salad. I must confess...this summer while we had family in town visiting I was asked if I had ever tried "Duke's" mayonnaise. Never heard of it in my entire life. So I made a trip to the store to find some Duke's. There it was. Sitting right beside the Hellmann's waiting on me to buy it. Why had I never noticed it on the shelf? We grilled that afternoon and spread on the Duke's mayo. Oh. My. Goodness. All I can say is "move over Hellmann's, hello Duke's". We love this stuff. In moderation of course. ;-) Mayonnaise is not something we use every day...but when we do, it will be Duke's from now on. And nobody told me to say this. I just wanted you to know. 'Cause I think it's good to share helpful cooking tips. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and you have lots of cooking to do. And I want you to get rave reviews on your cooking. Now run, don't walk, and get yourself some Duke's to make that potato salad and those deviled eggs.

Dish cabinet...

The old fashioned kitchen scene from the harvest brunch...

and yes...we painted the cabinet white with red knobs. I thought the red knobs would be cute for this scene. I'm switching them out to some clear glass knobs now that I finally have taken it in our house. Glad this furniture redo is complete. Without the help of my wonderful husband, I doubt it would have ever been finished. Thank you Terry for all you do for me!

Our sweet grandchildren...

The cutest trick-or-treaters we had...

Alice & Mario!

For Judy and Michael's shower..

An apron with Judy's new initials so she can look pretty while she cooks dinner...

A market / picnic basket with Judy and Michael's initials so they can shop or go on picnics together...

I wish you a long, happy life together! You make the sweetest couple.
