OK, so I was hoping that people would have a chance to look over the Blog and kind of laugh along with Chris and I as we document our year here in Boston (and around the world), but I have truly been amazed by the amount of emails that I have received concerning one particular post. So many of you have lovingly expressed your genuine concern over a matter that I thought might be the one reason to pack up and move back home.
No Duke's Mayonnaise.
If you're not a Duke's mayo fan (what are you, crazy???), than there is no reason for you to read on.
We have had people offer to ship us the stuff, and I don't think they were kidding. This is serious. Since I'm going to be doing quite a bit of research over the course of the next year, I thought I'd start off with something close to my heart (but not in my fridge, because, clearly, the nice folks up here have no IDEA what they are missing...)
Fun Facts FYI
- Duke’s original sales force was all women
- Famous Duke’s users include Paula Deen, Ina Garten and Race Car drivers Richard Petty, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jay Haas, Davis Love, JEB Stuart IV and RE Lee V
- Southerners have hit the web to yelp, blog and even broadcast their love for Duke’s Mayonnaise. You can find Duke’s on Flickr, YouTube as well as the blogosphere
- Duke’s is not only a favorite among the SE, it’s shipped to Germany, Russia, Africa, Iraq and other international locations monthly.
***Just so you know, that came off of the Duke's website. That's right, they have a website, and as it turns out, they'll SHIP their products anywhere in the world!
Life is good.
(A special thanks to Chris's dad (not a Carolina boy) for trying the Duke's Vs. Kraft taste test. Unfortunately, his taste buds are dead from years of exposure to other "sandwich dressings", and his opinions on the matter cannot be taken into account.)

I tried it but my gastro system just says KRAFT.
You are such a fun read. I am defiantly going to have to try Duke's Mayonnaise after all the hype! I wonder how long it will take for you to get too busy to write about such important things.
Sounds like you and Chris are doing really well and that in an answer to many prayers! :)
Love the blog,
Merry
