Susan W 3553 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 That's where you lose me. Not drinking liquid that's had an alien life form swimming around in it. LOL...I may give it away, but I have to see what making it is all about. Link to post Share on other sites
Nancy H. 158 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 That's where you lose me. Not drinking liquid that's had an alien life form swimming around in it. I'm with you. The taste was not so bad, but I couldn't get past all those slimy things floating in it. I'll take Sassy Water any time. Link to post Share on other sites
Kirsteen 2124 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I've made mayo a few times in my blender. Yesterday I decided to try the stick blender method. It is fantastically quick and easy. I had put everything in the jug and was adding the oil when I realised I was almost half a cup short of light olive oil. I was looking for something else to add to make up the amount and I found a bottle of hazelnut oil. I added it and the taste is amazing. The book does say that hazelnuts are a good source of monounsaturated fats so I take it it's ok to add some each time i make it now? Link to post Share on other sites
Susan W 3553 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Yes, if the nuts are on the "good" list than so is the oil as long as it's 100%. I almost bought some avocado oil the other day and low and behold, it was avocado oil and canola oil. No wonder it was so expensive. I did the same thing with Macadamia oil. I was a little short on olive oil, so I used my mac oil. It was delicious. Amazing how each mayo can be so different when you use different acids and different oils. Link to post Share on other sites
splash883 35 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 @ 1Maryann & slw600. *said in a reverent voice* I sit humbly before you... *snickers* Seriously, you guys rock! Way to make your own stuff!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Tracy R. 80 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 I followed the directions in the "It Starts With Food" recipe section. (I made it and it turned out great! I may go lighter on the salt next time, tho.) I am a nerd. Does anyone else feel a great sense of accomplishment when making something that you used to just go out and buy in the store? I had to laugh at myself. I told my husband, "Look! I just made mayo all by myself!!" Thanks for listening to my goofines! Kelsey YES!!! I feel that way every time I make it. In fact, I still announce to whichever family members are near the kitchen that I'm about to make mayo. The kids always come and watch. I feel the same about our homemade salad dressings and tartar sauce (omg, if you haven't tried the tarter sauce in ISWF, you have to. It is the bomb!! I'm planning fish for this weekend just to get the tartar sauce). Link to post Share on other sites
Nancy H. 158 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 And have you tried making it into 1000 Isle dressing? Two Tbsp of Mayo Two tsp of Dill Relish Two tsp of Home made BBQ sauce I had some yesterday and it is just like the kind in restaurants. Link to post Share on other sites

I ignore the eye rolling. Link to post Share on other sites
