Mayonnaise is just food lube. Hate it. ---

Well, you grow the plants that you harvest the oil from, but you know what I meant. And hand-mined salt is soooooo much easier and tastier than store-bought. Don’t forget the eggs. Naturally, you get them from free range chickens that you hand raised in your house, which live on only the finest of imported South American mosquitoes. ---

Naturally, you get them from free range chickens that you hand raised in your house, which live on only the finest of imported South American mosquitoes. If they don’t have access to the outdoors, they’re not free range. You _import_ your mosquitoes? So much for American jobs. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > It’s relatively easy to make. But if all you want is to make a tuna fish sandwich, do you really want to have to whip up a home-made batch of mayonnaise for it? I’m sure the sandwich would be better if I baked a fresh loaf of bread for it too but sometimes you just want quick convenience. I don’t remember the last time we had mayo in the house (we practically never use it), but if you have an immersion blender, [you can make mayo in a couple of minutes.](http://www.thekitchn.com/how-to-make-mayonnaise-with-an-immersion-blender-cooking-lessons-from-the-kitchn-206496) I think I did it the last time we needed some because I always have the ingredients in the house, but literally don’t remember the last time I bought mayo. ---
