When I saw that Fire Wire Grilling Tools  was sponsoring #BurgerMonth, I was excited. They seemed like a cool tool. Then a box came in the mail with a set for me to try.* Surprise! Woohoo!

Holy smokes it was a good mail day! When I heard that El Diablo Mustard was sponsoring #BurgerMonth, I was excited. We are a little mustard mad in my house. I mean, D has his own bottle of mustard that he will not share with anyone else; he even made a Spicy Carrot Cake - with mustard -  for Easter this year. I initially thought they were sending three mustards and asked if I could pick the three flavors I wanted. Then I found out that I was getting to sample all six flavors.* I think I might have squealed aloud. You have the chance to get a set of mustards of your very own! Click for  link to the give-away . I received: Mango, Heat Meets Sweet; Roasted Chipotle, A Kick of the Southwest; Steakhouse, Hearty Flavor to Treat Your Tastebuds; Texas Chili, Don't Mess with Texas!; Jalapeno, Popping with Pepper Flavor; and Habanero, A Flavor Inferno for Daring Types.  My mind is reeling with what I can do to really highlight these flavors. You'll defi...
