    Rebecca's journal-may be time to restart this

    Thanks for the link. I've been wanting to do something with a bunch of jeans that haveholes in them and the kids have outgrown. I had an idea to do a quilt but it always looked so complicated.

    tried to make my own mayo..... :(

    I tried the mixer... it didn't cut it. Quite a big runnier than normal and that is with regular veggie oil.

    HennyPenny's random thoughts. New set of goals!

    I've been known to say that I had been hoping to find the winning lottery ticket but there weren't any. I usually get a blank stare.

    My mayonnaise needs your help!

    Their steps are different from what I've seen/used. I've always used one bowl. Be sure that the eggs you are using are room temperature. One other thing I noticed about their recipe is that they only use the yolks. I use one whole egg plus one egg yolk. Here is the way I usually do mine. I...

    I would say it's a way to help you organize and set up routine for keeping your house clean but it's really so much more than that. She often says a few of the quotes the gals and I posted like: "You can do anything in 15 minutes", "Jump in where you are at", "FLY - Finally Loving Yourself" and...

    You guys make me want to cry sometimes... the Purple Puddle kind. It reminds me of why I keep coming back to this forum above all others. I haven't been very nice to myself lately thinking that I was "just being honest with myself" telling myself that I just wasn't meant to be a stay at home...

    I looked at the ad too. The only thing I could think was that I would never buy a critter from someone that seems to be having a major ID-10-T error.

    tried to make my own mayo..... :(

    Not too bad. Still a bit saltier than I like. I used 1/2 olive oil and 1/2 vegetable oil. You can definitely taste the olive oil. Next time, I'll go with just vegetable oil or maybe 1/4 olive oil.

    tried to make my own mayo..... :(

    The drizzle thing is definitely important. If you get overzealous, it goes all funky. Last time I made it it was WAY too salty and DH wouldn't touch it. Recipe I'm trying today to go in deviled eggs is: 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 1/2 t salt, 1T vinegar, 1 T lemon juice, 1/8 t sugar, 1/2 t mustard...
