Homemade Mayonnaise

I ran out of mayo in the middle of the week and I decided to look for a recipe online. I found one that only takes egg yolk, oil, and lemon juice. I tried it and it was very runny. The oil seems to mix well with everything but very runny. I use the hand mixer I have and added the oil very little at a time.

DH came home and I told him about my dilemma and told me to use the blender instead. I put everything in the blender and sure enough it turn into a regular mayo. Thick and creamy. I guess my hand mixer is not good enough to put air into it. Mind you I spend some time doing it too. DH felt so bad because I was complaining about my hand being so tired after making just a cup of mayo...

Others actually suggested to add whey to the mixture to make it taste just like a store bought Hellman's mayo. Maybe next time when I get myself a food processor.

My wife made homemade Mayo for me, was better tasting than any store bought and had a decent shelf life.

Paksiw & Strawberry Banana Smoothie

Image
This is my FTF entry for this week. Paksiw (sour broth) frozen baby bonito (tulingan). I settled for frozen ones, because this is very hard to find in my area. Always eaten with ton of rice...lol I don't have any other vegetables to mix with it but the pepper. I was lazy to go out (shopping) with the heat we are having. And for dessert; strawberry banana smoothie. I was weeding my vegetable garden today and I was sweating a lot. What a nice drink to have! Very filling (sweet) and refreshing after soaking under a hot sun. For more FTF images, just follow the image below.

Mango Float

Image
They are in season now a days. I am talking about mostly any fruits. Here is my version of mango float that similar Filipino goes gaga about. Like I mentioned in my previous post, the sugar in this recipe is the killer. I can have this maybe once a year and I still prefer just plain mango anytime. This one was taken after a few hours in the freezer. You can see the cream and milk mixture are still runny. This one is taken the next day, when frozen. It turns out that DH love it. The only complaint he got was the taste is not even. He still wanted to make ice cream with the same ingredients. I can't wait to see how it would taste.
