But given that my core 'character' on chatsubo always wore blue leather and my color schemes here have always been blue, it seems to be very apropriate.
*grins* Fighting the good fight, as always, just in my own corner of the universe. Good to see you again, and it's funny -- in looking for a solution to a broken mayonnaise, I ran into -another- dino.....
I guess I forgot to check for my fortune including old friends.
With broken mayo, you can just beat a corner of it really hard and try to get it together and then gradually beat back in the broken bits, bit by bit. Another way is to start with a yolk, well emulsified, and then start pouring bits of the broken sauce into it and beating that in until it's good again.
*grin*
I loved the answer you got from the friend who said that you have to need yourself, in an entry you wrote a little while back... it was a very hard lesson for me to learn, too. That I can't just go haring after other people's problems and trusting that that would be enough for my life...
That's the thing -- we've never tried making mayo before, and I think we killed it something fierce by pouring in all the oil at once (somebody didn't read the instructions carefully). I vaguely remembered the egg fix trick, but the problem is, I wouldn't recognize an emulsion if it bit me. How thick does it need to be? That's part of the secret of being wise; have wise friends, too, so when I'm stumped on a problem, they have something good to say to me.
It needs to be lemon colored and just a bit thicker than the yolk would be by itself. But did you find someone that answered it when you needed it?
And, yes, it would kill it to add all the oil at once. *hugs*
The main reason you add it a bit at a time is so the the emultion (i.e. a place where water and oil has mixed, thoroughly) can absorb the oil and mix it into itself. Mayo's just one big emulsion.
