Serious efforts - Homemade Mayo

This video http://www.howcast.com/videos/180551-How-To-Make-Mayonnaise uses the recipe:

* 2 egg yolks
* 1 whole egg
* 1 tbsp lemon juice, freshly squeezed
* 1 tsp Dijon or yellow mustard
* 1 tsp salt
* 1tsp pepper
* 1 c olive oil, not extra virgin
* 1 c canola oil
* Food processor
* Herbs
* Spices
* Horseradish
* Onions
* Garlic
* Capers
* Extra lemon juice or cider vinegar

Warning: Homemade mayonnaise contains raw egg. Don't leave it at room temperature or you risk a salmonella infection.

Blend ingredients
Step 1: Blend ingredients
Put all the ingredients except the oil into a food processor and mix or whisk by hand until creamy.

Tip: Customize your mayo with fresh herbs, spices, horseradish, onions, garlic, capers, or anything else you'd like.

Add the oil
Step 2: Add the oil

Whisking continuously, or with the food processor running, begin incorporating oil, just a few drops or two at a time, waiting 30 seconds after the first couple of additions of oil, then pouring it in a very slow stream. As you get to the end of the oil, check the texture; you may not need to use all the oil.

Tip: If the mayo is too thick, thin it with a little lemon juice or cider vinegar.

Finish and chill
Step 3: Finish and chill
Taste the mayo and adjust the seasoning if you need to. Transfer to a covered container and refrigerate. The mayo will stay good for three to five days.

Fix it
Step 4: Fix it
If the mayonnaise begins to separate, which it often does while refrigerated, reconstitute it by putting an egg yolk in a bowl and slowly whisking the broken mayo into the new egg yolk, a little at a time.

Fact: Hellmann's mayonnaise began as a salad and sandwich dressing made by New York City deli owner Richard Hellmann's wife in 1905.

Photos from Big Apple Barbecue Block Party 2009

And my apartment still smells of BBQ. It's too bad nobody captured the pitmasters at 2am warming up their "beasts" and sharing beers. It's bbq all the time for the previous 72 hours, and given the density of the smell in my place, for the next 72 as well.

In Season: Pineapple

Best part, you can grow your own simply from planting the stem. Not a tree...a real pineapple. Note: it takes about 2-3 years....

Snapshots from Iceland: Cutest Skyr Container Ever

I can't find it anymore at Whole Foods. Sigh, it used to be my daily indulgence as expensive as it was.
