Mike has the keys to his new home and is now getting it ready to move into in a couple of weeks. He has installed a new chandelier and I guess Shawna likes it. I hope so -- this is a special home for them and the area with this light fixture promises to be a high traffic area I think.
Mike has appointments for carpet installation and hardwood floor work to be done. I think most of that will be starting on Tuesday and keep going from there. It sounds like the home will be a new home by the time they finish.
Don and I are thinking of going up to see the house next weekend. I believe Phillip is thinking of going also as that is his short week. It should be fun to see them.
I have been excited to finally learn how to make my own mayonnaise. I have always been afraid of it but found it to be very exciting -- besides now I know exactly what I am eating.
It was really easy to do and it truyly surprised me.
I opted for the blender recipe which is:
2 eggs
1 teaspoon dry mustard powder
1 clove garlic
10 ounces olive oil -- poured slowly in blender as other ingredients were blending
1 teaspoon vinegar very last
Salt and Pepper to taste if desired
I followed the recipe and probably would not put the garlic in again for regular mayo.
Some options listed that sounded interesting to me were:
- Add 8 ounces blue cheese at end for a blue cheese dressing
- Increase mustard to 1 Tablespoon + add 1 teaspoon Worchestershire + a few drops of Tobasco Sauce for a Spicy version
- Add 3-6 cloves garlic for a garlic mayo -- may be a good spread for a garlic bread
- Add onion slice and herbs for a salad dressing
Because there is raw egg in the recipe it should be refrigerated and used in a short time -- not for a long storage time even in the refrigerator
I had fun -- hope you enjoy
