I've never made my own mayo.

I've seen it made on TV.

In third grade I remember the school cafeteria lunch monitor asked me what
I was having for lunch. Thinking quick, I lied and said "a mayonnaise
sandwich and a milk." That sounded so much more sophisticated than bread
and butter.

I SURE FOOLED HER!!!
