Mayo p. 237 "The Yeast Syndrome" 2nd try

2 eggs room temperature, lighter flavor olive oil

Much better mayo!


Learning to add lemon and lime

Slicing lots of lemons

Keeping them in the fridge, ready to add to filtered water, herbal tea, or anything...

Keeping lemons and limes in a bowl, easy to grab and use...
 I keep them where I can see them to help me remember to use them as much as possible.

Juicing lots of lemons! I've had this juicer since I got married. Thanks Aunt Jo!

Keep the juice in a little pitcher, ready to pour into recipes...
