FYI

If you're going to surprise your better half with a gourmet lunch, let me give you a little insight....

When you decide to make egg salad sandwiches with homemade Mayo, very thinly sliced Vidalia onion and lettuce served on wheat toast, you need to make sure you have all the ingredients, not just the eggs.

Got set to whip it up (that's what.... never mind) and started making the Mayo...

egg yokes... check

white pepper... check

salt... check

extra virgin olive oil... check

three table spoons lemon juice... CRAP

 

Okay all is not lost, I have another recipe that uses lime juice instead

CRAP... no limes or "Real Lime Juice"... double CRAP

Heyyyyyy

I have Bud Light Lime... lots of Bud Light Lime

Alas... Bud Light Lime is not an acceptable substitution for lime or lemon juice. Except maybe when making Lemonade... as long as you leave out the water and the sugar.

I did taste it after some serious whipping "it up" with an electric mixer... screw the whisk...  it didn't even make a dent in this stuff. I finally got it to the consistency of a Margarita (without the ice of course). So I stuck in a plastic spoon and got me a big ol' taste. Okay... lets just say it was off-putting at the very least.

I can only describe the taste of extra virgin olive oil mixed with Bud Light Lime one way. Find a virgin (no jokes) then spill Bud Light Lime on her and when she picks up the bottle and hits you across the nose with it, you get that funny (in a bad way not funny in a laughing way) metal taste in your mouth, you know... that taste like chewing on a big wad of aluminum foil right before you scream and fall to your knees hands covered in blood..... that taste times infinity.

Girls most of you will not understand that analogy. Try this one... it tastes as bad as burning your forehead with a curling iron hurts.

I now love Kraft Lite Mayonnaise and will never complain again.
