Bob makes an excellent mayo, and once made a fat-free faux mayo (I think
he used celery root on that one).

But, in the Mayo vs. Miracle Whip debate, I prefer mayo. MW is
icky-sweet. He likes MW well enough, but funny, I haven't seen any
purchased since he married me. ;-)

So, all this talk of BLTs and it has me changing my mind (again) on what
to have for dinner. I have some lovely whole chicken breasts marinating
in a light soy/ginger/garlic/wine/EVOO mixture and I need to get that on
the grill fairly soon. With fresh grilled corn on the cob!

I just can't shake how good a BLT with avocado sounds, with a little
soup on the side. I've got everything here for that. And it's certainly
easier to prepare.

Decisions, decisions.

Lin - I do not like avocado in any form. It to me, is the equivalent of
veggie butter. Not that it is a bad thing, it's just something *I* don't
like.

I'm pretty happy to try anything if placed in front of me :-)

But the BLT can be tasty in many guises, but generally, it does not
include other than thick peasant bread, tomato, lettuce, *mayo*, and
possibly a thin slice of onion which dchanges the name to BLO.

But so can many foods.

"Hellmann's® Mayonnaise - known as Best Foods® West of the Rockies - is
America's favorite mayonnaise brand. Its great taste enhances the flavor of
many foods including fish, chicken, grains, vegetables and salads. It is an
essential part of a healthy diet and contains real ingredients, like eggs,
oil and vinegar."

MOST mayo is made with vinegar.

It was made with silken tofu, which is not fat-free, but is much lower-fat
than egg yolks and oil.

You mean either BLOT or BOLT, don't you?

You could always put the BLT on top of your chicken (too bad you
marinated it)... then you'd have the best of both worlds!

LOL! Too much food!

I did end up making BLaTs. I realized that I had only one smallish
sungold tomato and several large grape tomatoes, so I chopped them up,
added just a bit of chopped onion, chopped up a half of an avocado and
added a splash of white balsamic vinegar. I used it as a topping when I
built the sandwiches as I normally would. I served them open-faced and
it was a very nice presentation.

I was at Trader Joe's a couple of days ago and bought more of their
cartoned soups and stocks. Hidden at the bottom of the shelf was a soup
I'd never seen before -- A "Latin Style Black Bean Soup" with garlic,
chipotle, and sea salt. It's vegan and gluten free. The soup on it's own
is smooth and dee-lish, but more importantly it makes a great jump-off
point for something else, which is of course, what I did. I added a can
of reduced sodium black beans, fresh corn kernels from two ears, and
jalapeno powder to give it a bit more spice. It was a great way of
getting a DELICIOUS high-fiber low fat soup. I have a little left over
and I think I'll add a small can of chopped tomatoes to it. The box is
deep purple and the soup is black bean black -- and it was on the BOTTOM
shelf under the vegetable stock. Very hard to notice. I'm going back for
more of this, because as we all know, their products vary and once it's
gone it may never come back. [BTW: Went looking for the hazelnut meal
there as suggested and that particular TJs does not carry it, but I did
get almond meal].

Chicken on the grill for sure tomorrow.

I'm sorry. I was salivating, and keeping off the household cats, while
trying t type.

But you are right Bob. a BLOT is more in keeping with what I usually
make. But I at least actually use mayo unlike some of the folks here.

Anyone that makes a BLT (or an variation of it) without mayo, deserves
some level of scorn!!!

I'm guessing you are a spoiling for a fight now... but since you used
the actual correctly spelled name of "helmanns", you expect us to
respect you more, am I right?

I hope you die with a mouth full of salad dressing! Miracle Whip? I hope
you lose the ability to make any mayo, and are stuck with it!!!

Very true! But I've come to prefer Lime based mayo... IMHO it really is
superior!

Nothing like soup and sandwich. ;-d Childhood memories and comfort
food...

Might be about time to make a pot of black soybeans, but with the
current drought and 100+ degree temps, the weather is just not right for
soups yet!

I've even been letting all 3 dogs live indoors for the afternoons. I'm
not leaving my poor pups outside in those temps!

It's not stopping me from grilling tho'. Ferocious stole a chicken leg
off the mini-grill the other day. I took it away from him and tossed it
as I don't want him eating a leg bone...

I went to Miracle Whip--Free, in the same manner going from whole milk to
fat-free milk.

Hellmans still holds a place in my heart AND veins.

We used to be able to get all the different Hellmans flavours, but most
of the local supermarkets have dropped it off their shelves.

The do, however, carry S&W,which I prefer.

The SO *loves* the Hellmans Lime Mayo.

No, you can't.
All those things can be added _after_ the base mayonnaise is done.
Portion it off, make garlic mayo, make curry mayo, etc.
That way you have several dips instead of only one.

Nope. Just make sure that all ingredients have the same temperature.
I've been making mayonnaise for over 30 years and never had a
failure.
If someone needs a work-out, prepare mayo with a whisk ;-)

Good value added statement. But in my case, if I'm making mayo, it is
usually intended for one purpose, so I don't think ahead about
multi-flavor portions.

If it was still raw, it probably would have been fine. It's the cooked
bones that are most dangerous. The gal who facilitated the rescue of our
RayAnn feeds her dogs a raw meat and veggie diet. RayAnn got a chicken
back after being released from "the big house."

We are grilling tonight as well, marinated chicken and roasted corn on
the cob. I've got some leftover boiled red potatoes and a few eggs that
are hardboiled so I might make a small batch of tater salad.

Hubby is buying fat free mayo now for the same reason. I didn't like
mayonnaise to begin with (although it has it's place in tuna
sandwiches, potato salad and deviled eggs) and now this glop. Ugh.

For various medical reasons I eat a low to no fat diet. When I started
it many years ago, a lot of things like no-fat milk tasted pretty awful
but I quickly got used to them and I actually dislike regular milk now.
I use no-fat mayonnaise quite successfully to make things like tartar
sauce, Russian dressing and tuna salad but I never really liked
mayonnaise as a sandwich spread. Combinations of no-fat mayo, yoghurt
and sour cream can be used to make fish sauces and no-fat yoghurt makes
a pretty good Indian Raita.

Fortunately, our local store carries a generic/store brand that is every
bit as good.

To add another no-fat recipe, various Salsas mixed with no-fat sour
cream are quite good salad dressings.

Default Mayo (was BLT question)

That could lend itself to a low-fat nachos. Using fat free cream cheese for
cheese, Pile everything on, bake just until melted. Add diced avocado (good
fat) after baking and finish drizzled with your no-fat sour cream'd salsa.

I often use fat free yogurt for a salad dressing base, I think it has a
better dressing consistancy than sour cream; mix well with citrus juice and
honey, add herbs/spices of choice.

It was semi-cooked. I chose not to take the chance.

I feed even cooked chicken backs. Leg and thigh bones as well as long
bones on the wings are supposed to be dangerous.

Oh yum. :-) A baked spud will be my treat when I hit my goal weight.
Damn I miss potatoes!!! Probably more than anything. <sigh>
I have that thawed shark steak and some shrimp for tonight, along with
steamed cabbage and some fresh sunflower sprouts.

"Hill Country Fare" generic from HEB is drastically superior to "Kraft"
and comparable to "Hellmans". :-)

Most of HEB's store brand stuff is excellent.

We are blessed.
