Advents Corner

I was looking at a house a friend of mine sent me and it was one of those really old houses that had things like a lazy butler. I think that is what they are called. The little elevators you put the trays of food in to send it to the second floor. I also had a stair lift and a laundry shoot. Now those are cool. No need to carry basked down stairs anymore just throw it in the shoot and it does downstairs to the laundry room for you. I always thought that those were pretty neat.

I’ve been asked to try these Grey Poupon Mustards and give an honest review so here goes. The first one I tried was the Harvest coarse ground in my potato salad. I always tell Michaela that the difference between Southern potato salad and northern potato salad is MUSTARD!!!! I usually use just regular mustard in the salad but I thought since I had these why not try and shake it up a little, and shake it up they did. The Grey Poupon gave it a kick it never had before, the whole mustard seeds gave it a tangy taste that we just loved. The Hearty Spicy Brown we used on sandwiches and it gave them the same taste the deli sandwiches have that we spend a fortune on. Not too spicy just enough to give the sandwich extra flavor and to keep you coming back for more. Both of these were awesome but I did like the coarse ground a little more maybe because it was in potato salad, because I love potato salad. Pick up a jar and add it to a recipe that calls for regular mustard and give it that added BAM!!!

Today we were able to finish the wall paper in Lani’s room, finally.  It seems like it took us forever to get it all done.  Well I guess if you think about it, it did take us forever to get it done.  Lani is now in a toddler bed and she is doing wonderful.  I thought we would have a battle on our hands trying to get her to stay in the bed for nap time and bed time but she has been so good, just like always.  Now we do not have to worry about her jumping over the rail to get out of the bed anymore.
