Our warm up has been slow to arrive: 10° here this morning, but up to 38° this afternoon.
I am ordering a heated pet warmer this morning....maybe that will bring on a heat wave. Poor DH has been having to clean and refill the myriad cats water twice daily. This should save him some time and steps.

I have always wondered about making mayonnaise but read a lot of things about it being very tricky and many reported disasters or talked about having to re-do it. What really got me interested is our Son who has been very serious about eating only 'real' foods and zero processed food has tried it with sorry results.
I found an extremely simple and fast recipe by Martha Stewart that, for a change, didn't call for any exotic ingredients.

I tried my larger processor but the blade didn't touch the small amount of egg yolks so I switched to my mini one and used the two tiny holes in the top to add the oil. It worked beautifully and I was delighted with the end result. We don't normally even like mayo, but this has a tartness to it and DH and I both liked it a lot. We had some on a sandwich yesterday.
I suspect the larger processor would work if I just started drizzling the oil raising the level of the ingredients.
It only keeps a week in the fridge so I will probably be forced into making a cake!
It can be the base of many salad dressings and other toppings so maybe no cake.
