Okay, homemade mayo. I put this off for way too long because it sounded like one of those things that requires too much from me. It does not. It takes about two minutes, and once you do it once you will feel a little silly about how long you avoided it. I know I did….
My family has eaten basically the same meal every Christmas Eve for as long as I can remember. And when I say the same meal, I mean THE SAME MEAL. If you have a copy of our family cookbook, you’ll already know the menu. But for those of you who don’t, let me introduce you….
