It.s yellow, it's spreadable, we all love MUSTARD


Hello everyone - we're here to announce the winner in this week's Highlowaha.com Super Bowl Snack Competition. This week's secret ingredient was MUSTARD. Who doesn't love mustard. There's so much you can do with it.

Struble Suds opened it's doors to some special attendees this week. The annual Haack Christmas party was this weekend. We allowed Chris, the MN Viking fan, to come visit. For a Minnesota guy he's really nice - too bad he likes the wrong team. Also sharing in the fun today were the Tourlas, Laskowski, and Poole families.

This week we had two competitors - Lori and Cheryl.

First up was Cheryl's pig in a blanket with mustard. Cheryl sent us some East Island mustard. A very popular item from WISCONSIN. Well known by this cheesehead crowd. During football season who can't resist those little wienies. A sure fire hit.

Second up was Lori with her mustard dip. This multi-purpose dip ingredients included mayonnaise, sour cream, ranch dip, horseradish and, of course, MUSTARD. Lori provided pretzels to use for dipping, but we found you could dip anything in this mustard creation - chips, crackers, even Cheryl's pig in a blanket, you name it. Also, it was all agreed that it would make a good sandwich spread.

In the end, if everyone had to pick a mustard winner - it was.... Lori. Congrats Lori on your win.
Also, thanks to Lori for her Arizona trivia that was included in her box. We now know several facts about AZ State University, Saguaros, and the state of Arizona. Also, just to make Lori feel guilty - the high today in Chicago is going to be 24 (not even close to the AZ temps).


Thanks again to all our Highlowaha.com Super Bowl Competition entrants. Today ended the fir round. Check back on Dec 30 for round #2. What will the secret ingredient be??? Send us a notest with your suggestions.

On a side note - the maple truffles have not arrived - the Struble boys have been keeping a diligent vigil for them.
