Homemade Mayonnaise

Give it a Whirl Thursday
will be a weekly column
documenting triumphs and
failures of frugal projects.



2 egg yolks
12 oz veggie oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
1-2 tsp Dijon mustard
salt and pepper

Whisk together yolks and a pinch of salt.Add one drop of oil to yolk and whisk until incorporated.Continue adding one drop of oil at a time until each is incorporated. Be patient it takes a few minutes. After a quarter of oil is added, add lemon juice and beat.Add rest of oil.
Add Dijon mustard and salt and pepper to taste.

**This has been on my to do list for a long time, but in all honesty I didn't want to make it for fear of taste. I am happy to report there is not much of a difference. I was very pleasantly surprised. I will not be buying mayo again.**

  4. I remember when I told my daughter the ingredients for homemade mayo. Yick - she said. Nothing tastes better than the homemade! and it isn't that hard, either. It spoils you against the jar stuff :)

  5. I grew up on homemade mayonnaise. In fact for years I didn't know you could buy it. I thought all moms made it. Homemade mayonnaise rocks. Happy Foodie Friday.

  7. You have made this look so easy! My son-in-law is a chef and he will absolutely not eat anything that has store bought mayo in it. He will be so pleased if I start making it on my own. Thanks for sharing this with us!

One Month to love book review

This book is divided into 30 short chapters that cover all different aspects of relationships in your life. Some people are more easy to love than others, and this definitely helps with the difficulties involved in some people. Some things in this book are very predictable.

With their  Business Card Maker  I was able to create exactly what I was looking for and with very little effort of time. They don't just have business cards. They have a  banner maker , which woul
