hehe. I'm with you, Chris. I would have been cheating big time if I had
only needed a little. In addition to mayo or sour cream.. ... thinned the
MW with milk. ... added Ranch or Coleslaw (comes mayo based in a
bottle) dressing. ...made a little mayo with eggs and oil. I absolutely
hate having to run to the store at the last minute during the holidays. It
not only stresses me out, it just seems to totally ruin my schedule.
