Sunday 3.33pmI have a few ongoing projects, especially in cooking. Naan bread is one, pizza another and mayonnaise yet another. I do not tackle them all the time, and I don't stress over them, just every now and again I'll have another go at one or another, today it was mayonnaise. I know what I am after something plain and creamy, pretty much like "Helmann's" or "Best Foods" here in New Zealand, but one that I have made and know exactly what has gone into it.
But what am I chasing?, what brings me back to try again and again. I think it is the vision in my head, that thing that I cannot describe and yet can taste, smell and see in my mind. And when what I make matches that I'll know. Vision and doing go hand in hand in achieving anything. Yes it is also good to play around every now and again just to see what can be discovered, but as I get older I am noticing more and more the power of visualisation.
Life is never dull when you know where you are heading.

Hmmm. It looks like a bowl of delicious lemon curd. But, it is mayonnaise. Ok. Now, are you going to tell us how to get to this end?
Latest favorite sandwich in this household: yummy cheese, sliced crackling crisp Fuji apples, mayonnaise and sourdough bread. I like arugula with mine, but the 7 year old likes hers plain. Yum!

Hi,
That looks very unhealthy but I bet it is delicious. My sis makes a powerful garlic mayo. Perfect for potato salad.
That Mucha postcard looks like its been a few places with you in that notebook.
At the moment the mayo is made from - one egg yolk (free range) a teaspoon of dijon mustard, a pinch of salt, whisked together with 150ml of canola oil added very slowly especially at the beginning. And a sqeeze of lemon juice added at the end.
But it is still not right yet . . . .
And yes the postcard has been a few places.
Did you know that all his compositions are based on triangles ?
