@mrsmarygs it's right next to the Hellman's. DO IT. You will not be disappointed. DH always got Hellman's (california boy) til I blew his mind with Duke's.
And I have never heard of dukes either. We have always used hellmans. I don't care for mayo though so that's probably why. I'll get dh to try it. He will probably like it more than me.
@labby18 Ah, that must be why we always had Hellman's growing up, my dad's from Cali. In my house, we are normally Kraft people, but if I'm feeling fancy I'll get Hellman's. Now I must try Duke's. Is it different in whipped quality or flavor or creaminess? Or is it just magic that cannot be explained?
After Hurricane Matthew DH went to the grocery store to restock on all the stuff we lost in the fridge. There was not one Duke's Mayo in the store! He said he almost got Hellman's, but thought better of it.
I'm eating cold meat sandwhiches like they're going tout of style.

@Becky012016 Oh man, I've bought a bunch. I'm doing a mixture between more simplistic baby books, and stories that are more on toddler level. I'm a firm believer in reading to kids ahead of their reading/comprehension level. First 100 Words, First 100 Animals, The Snowy Day, the original Clifford, Lyle the Crocodile, Curious George, Caps for Sale, Harold and the Purple Crayon, The Napping House, Olivia, Dream Animals, When I Was Small, Goodnight Moon, Where the Wild Things Are, I Am A Bunny, Freight Train, Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast, Eating the Alphabet, etc. Also a lot of Dr. Seuss, Eric Carle, and Richard Scarry. I also love everything by Elsa Beskow. Oh, and there's also a really cute series called Baby Lit that takes classic stories- The Jungle Book, Alice in Wonderland, Mody Dick, Jane Eyre, etc, and turns them into primers for colors, opposites, counting, and a bunch of other stuff. Ok, I could keep going on, but I won't. That's probably enough geeking out over books for one post.
I fell asleep on the couch last night. I woke up as my DH was locking the doors and faked still being asleep so he'd carry me to bed.
And, and.... I forgot I put a Dr Pepper in the freezer to chill last night.... it's still there...

True Story: Was at a friends house, and we were doing sandwiches or burgers or something for lunch and I asked for mayo and she handed me Miracle Whip, I said "oh nevermind."

My parents are Miracle Whop people. Growing up I never thought anything about it, but now it's just gross. The only thing I like it in is a deviled egg, but even then I prefer mayo.
And now I think I'm going to have to make deviled eggs this weekend...mmmmm...

Here's my fffc because I can't remember the really good one I thought of yesterday. I'm very generous with my love tits, but only if I like you. If I don't know you or you don't post much, I probably won't give you a love tit. *shrugs*
So here's what really happens, and this can be my FFFC:
I need time to fully wake up in the morning. So I throw some food at my kids (oatmeal bar or toast. Nothing I actually have to cook) and slap on some mickey mouse club house (crack for my 2 year old) and then drink my fully caffeinated coffee in peace while scrolling through Facebook and the bump.
After im finished, only then can we really begin our day.
I also do this everyday. I require the hour of peace. Before I was pregnant I would wake up at 5:30 (a full hour before DS so I could shower and drink coffee in peace). Nothing happens until that first cup of coffee is finished.
@LuckyPenny1231 it just tastes like bitterness. And the strings are nasty. I'll cook it in soup but that's it. I can't do raw celery no matter what i try
Re: celery. What's wrong with you ladies!? That shit is delicious. Slab some PB or cream cheese on it. Mmmmm.
Re: children's books. When I was pregnant with DS1, I hit up a bunch of yard sales and Goodwills for books. You. Can buy brand new board books for 25 cents or 50 cents. I bought over 500 books before he was born. It became an obsession. I'd stop and look every week. His library is in sections: dinosaurs, trucks, early readers, etc. It has been fun to pull out whatever he's into and spend a few weeks with those sections. He went through a curious George phase recently and that was awesome.
My FFC: I haven't done laundry in 3 months. Not a single load. DH and I normally split house work and share the duties, but he has stepped up and done it all. I think that makes me a bad wife.
@DaphneMoon1 I'm with you. I haven't done dishes in months. I emptied the dishwasher once and got tired, so I went to sit down. Never loaded it. DH does all the dishes and most of the laundry right now. Also works full time and takes night classes. I feel like a real slacker.

I feel like I read something's about formaldehyde being used to make decaf coffee? I dont drink as much anymore but always full caf when I do.
Dukes is the very best. Now I want pimento cheese!
FFC I still eat blue cheese. I can't help it. It's so good
There's a lot of misinformation about formaldehyde out there so I'd always research the amount in whatever it is you are consuming. Like our bodies naturally produce it. Not to mention it is in everything that is inside your home (carpet, drywall, pvc pipe, curtains, nail polish, almost any textile, etc) so I mean six one way half dozen the other
Re: FFFC 3/24
I think it is so strange that like no one knows about Duke's...I'm glad to spread the word (haha get it? spread...mayo...)

*puke*
edit for spelling
I have found my people! I seriously thought I was the only person who hated celery. If the slightest piece is in anything that's the only thing I taste. Bleh!
