Here's what I came up with. It's very close to that Recipezaar link
someone posted. (Thanks, btw)

Salad Dressing

2 egg yolks
3 Tbsp bottled lemon juice
1/2 tsp celery salt
1 tsp mustard powder
1/4 tsp paprika
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

3/4 cups water
2 Tbsp cornstarch
5 tsp sugar
2 Tbsp white vinegar

Mix water, cornstach, sugar, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Whisk and
heat to boiling to make a thin paste. Set aside to cool.

Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, celery salt, mustard, and paprika in a
tall skinny bowl. Add half of the salad oil and mix with handheld
blender to make a mayonnaise. Add the remaining oil slowly and blend
that in too. Don't worry too much if you add the oil too fast and it
separates a little. Add the warm cornstarch paste and blend until
smooth and thick. It will get even thicker in the refrigerator.

Notes: Good but doesn't quite taste right. Probably celery is the
wrong spice. Try white pepper next time.
