Yawn, Good Morning everyone! Boy oh boy did I ever sleep in. Lazybones me. Just beginning to stir. Half a cup o coffee is all so far.

Back to the Mayo ?? of the day. This is raw egg, do you have any concerns about consuming this?
Not worried about the egg at all. They're fresh from my backyard. I'd NEVER make this mayo with store bought eggs or if I did I wouldn't eat it after 48 hours or so. My mayo is usually still good after 10 days. I also have been known around these parts for cracking raw eggs into our shakes. YUM.

ACV = Apple Cider Vinegar. Preferably unpasteurized, with "mother". Braggs is a good brand. Amazon has it cheap, so does Vitacost.com

No, it's mostly egg yolks and an oil and a tiny bit of an acid (vinegar or lemon juice). No whites. Olive oil makes it aioli. butter and tarragon makes it bearnnaise. lemon and butter is hollandaise. plain vegetable oil is mayonnaise.

I do make bernaise ( I don't know how to spell this apparently) for steak oscar. I don't bother making mayo. The process is similar. It's not hard, just time intensive. Use a blender or food processor, don't whisk it unless you want a sore arm!
Haha! They can use the workout! We lost the gasket on our blender a while back and haven't replaced it. I am also notorious for burning out motors in hand-held mixers

I make it in the blender, drizzle the oil through the little hole in the top - using whole eggs. Problem with homemade though, is that the eggs aren't pasteurised like commercial mayo, so it has to be eaten fairly quickly.

Sounds easy enough

I also add a bit of English powdered mustard for a little extra bite. It's hot like horseradish.

Ohhh!!! I have some Chinese Hot powdered mustard, yummy!!

You can reduce the risk, by coddling the eggs before making the mayo. Doesn't eliminate the risk though. I have found HM mayo just doesn't last long without separating. That and Best Foods is better than my HM, is the reason I buy it.
that's why I like making bearnaise -- the hot butter sort of cooks the eggs a little.

I still have to try that one, I was a picky eater growing up and it has taken my DH a slow-steady process of introducing new things, lol! I know I can just google it, but what is coddling?

Food stuff

So, me too with Himself - we don't usually do gifts etc. So, I'm going to make a fantabulous scrumdiddlyumptious cake. Although, I do have to be very careful about eating it myself, since I'm on a pretty strict diet. I'm thinking Coconut/pineapple/rum with glace cherries and whipped cream.

Oh, that looks so good! I think he'll be very happy!

I make all our mayo, once a week, in the blender. Like this:
Crack 1 egg in the blender
add 1/2 tsp mustard
1tsp ACV
1/2 tsp salt
1/8tsp cayenne

turn on blender on low and leave off the lid
start pouring/drizzling veeeeeeery slowly about 1c light olive oil and it will begin to thicken. When it starts to thicken you can pour faster, and if it doesn't thicken up enough add more oil to the consistency you want. Takes me 2 minutes every Monday morning and we never finish it all but come close most weeks.

Thanks!!! For some reason I thought it was all egg whites and a tiny bit of vinager. GOOD THING I didn't try my own version first

I can imagine tangy, not so very good meringue.....

Home made mayo is great for mac. salad, or potato salad. Because you use so much at one time.
i make it but each time I use a different recipe from the internet. Trying to find the best one.

Both of those are edibles in my house, the kids love the mac salad (go figure) now I have to play with making them a little more homemade!

Actually, I am OK with raw eggs. I found my daughter (18 months) in the kitchen, playing in the trash and eating an egg shell last week. Totally changed my opinions about raw eggs, she never got sick. Of course, it was painfully hilarious to watch her chomp on an egg shell and get very upset when I made her spit it out!

Lucy and 2 of her surrochicks

Oh! They are so tiny! She looks like "lady, what do you think you are doing?!"
 
Well slowly moving my chick that hatched in december outside. It is completely feathered. I put an old wire cage in the chicken pen in a covered area of it, put a blanket on top of it so the chickens cannot get above the chick and poop on it. First thing when i did this my RIR/leg horn mix hen got on the blanket and started trying to lay an egg. Guess the sawdust nest and the nest full of straw aren't good enough I need a blanket nest as well.

Also, what are my chances of infection in a scratch on my finger from my chick? She doesn't like me. It's not that she doesn't like to be held my husband can pick her up and she cuddles right into him. I try to pick her up same way and she claws and pecks me. she cut my pinky open. i washed it and wrapped it.
 
I agree! CR, how did the colony-move go? Are you making those adorable metal chickens?
Pretty well. The boy only got scared and kind of paniced once once but was able to calm and refocus. His parents took lots of pics that they will be sending me. I got 5 full frames. And sent them home with a saucer size piece of comb full honey.
