i broke my mayonnaise. but i am here to tell you that it is fixable. i started mine in the vita-mix and well, it’s just not the way to go. unless perhaps you’re making a very large quantity and then the whirly thingamajig will actually be able to blend what’s in there. but one egg yolk, some lemon juice, mustard and salt just was not enough volume, even when i began to add the oil oh so very slowly… it just wasn’t happening for me. it was actually teetering on ‘failure’ – and i had just dribbled away 6 ounces of my very favorite and very expensive spanish olive oil, so the thought of pouring it all down the drain was incredibly unappealing…
and then i googled "broken mayonnaise". and lo and behold, the internet once again saved the day and all you do is whisk an egg yolk into a bowl and add the broken mayonnaise, bit by bit. and then there it was. my aioli, as smooth and silky one could ever hope for, i added some fresh lemon zest and pressed (yes pressed) garlic – and it was about as good as mayonnaise could ever be. the buttery olive oil turned velvety rich by the yolks, dijon mustard and lemon juice and zest with just the right amount of garlic… i was really pleased.
but when i cracked the king crab legs and tossed it all with arugula and a fistful of cilantro… well, then i was supremely happy.
so, i made my aioli, i broke my aioli, i fixed my aioli. and now i know. just use very fresh eggs, have everything at room temperature, some mustard to provide stability, and an acid – required for the emulsification process. next time i’ll add the slightest pinch of cayenne or white pepper – just for some balance to brighten it up. and i will only whisk. by hand. no electricity needed.
1 egg yolk (i used 2 due to the ‘broken’ aspect)
a big pinch of salt
1/2 t dijon mustard
1 T lemon juice
3/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
pressed garlic
lemon zest
these are the kind of dinners i love the most. one interesting element that was a learning experience, and the rest of it just 3 high quality fresh and simple ingredients,,,
that didn’t have to even try.

# 4–Our parish does not have VBS, they did have a summer camp but it was geared more for working Moms and was quite pricey. # 5–I totally agree with you on this one…We picked one thing to do this summer and it was swimming lessons for my five year old. We are also learning about math, and phonics. The library is a weekly visit with storytime and books. We are fortunate to have memberships to the aquarium, botanical gardes, and zoo, all given to us by generous grandparents. That gives us plenty to do!!

Mas anda tudo louco ou que?Eu cá desta vez estou do lado do Vindopov! Não fosse a porra da corrente do Schleck ter saltado e eu queira ver se o Contador ganharia com a facilidade com que ganhou o Tour!Saltou a corrente, ganhou tempo e soube geri-lo… TÃpico e inteligente. M~erito do Contador nesta parte, mas nao sei se seria capaz de matar o Schleck no Tourmalet como o Schleck o matou!O Schleck está cada vez melhor e para o ano será ele no primeiro lugar do podio pá!Força Schleck!

Andres Torres has all of the Mets PA’s against these starting pitchers. I wonder when the Mets faced three SP in a series that they had never faced before. Seems a little unique.

Did I hear someone just say Jamie Foxx LOOKS and SOUNDS like Ray Charles? No, I didn’t think so.You don’t need to “look” exactly like the person but must be able to embody and nail the essence of the character. Go back to casting high school plays everyone.

I can buy an entire M305 and ~1200 rounds of ammo for $1350… It’s not an AK clone, it’s made on the same machines as original M14. First they were sold to Taiwan, then those Chinese sold them to the mainland..I can understand the price though. Low-volume production, overengineered and all that.

I recommend a treadmill. I am rather large chested and despise running myself and a treadmill is a great way to reduce impact. Also an Elliptical machine goes through the motions of running without having to pick up your feet, also making it low impact. A cross-trainer can also help and has a benefit of working on specific muscle groups in your legs. If those ideas are too close to running, try a bike. They are easy and fun and burn 317 calories an hour if done at a decent pace. (Running may range from 330 to 360)
