  • Welcome!

    I'm a farm wife, a mama and a photographer living in Virginia.

    My camera is typically filled with images of sunrises, dusty fields, even dustier children and whatever we happen to be planting or harvesting at the time.

    Thanks for visiting the farm!

A Duke’s Christmas

Here is a normal container of Duke’s  (click here for more on my obsession with Duke’s) mayonnaise:

 

 

And here is not a normal container of Duke’s mayonnaise. This is a ginormous, insane amount of mayo that I will never, ever be able to finish. I cannot even contemplate that much cole slaw or potato salad or deviled eggs or …. oh great, now I’m hungry.

 

 

I love how it says, “Heavy Duty”. I wonder if it tastes different than the above “real” mayonnaise?  I hate to open it though unless I’m making enough pasta salad for the tri-county area.

And that’s not something I do real often.

 

 

My sisters-in-law thought this would be a hilarious Christmas gift becaause I wrote about Duke’s so often. So here’s the plan. ya’ll: this coming up year, instead of mayonnaise I’m going to become enamored of something else. Like… sapphire earrings or Ipods or….

Got any ideas? This will be the best Christmas EVER!

That is one serious jug of Mayo, my, my!

Just . . . wow! I don’t know how anyone outside of a restaurant could ever use that much without it going bad.

Just how big is your ‘fridge?

Not that big! Maybe I should just make a bunch of food for the hunt club guys – whatcha think?

The next time I come south on a tree shopping excursions….I’m going to the grocery and getting some Dukes.

When I was growing up I didn’t know there was anything but Duke’s and it never left my Nanny’s table – no refrigerator for our mayo!! I LOVE mayo and pepper sandwiches. If you have never tried it you don’t know what you’re missing.

Talk about clogged arteries in a jar! But it’s so darn good! YUMMY.

Oh, absolutely on the Duke’s! Potato salad, egg salad, deviled eggs, and tomato sandwiches just aren’t edible if not made with Dukes. Goodness, what I wouldn’t give for a homegrown, red ripe tomato right now….

Mind boggling, and I am a Duke’s devotee.
