Here is a video demo of the mayonnaise-making process.  You'll want to size your browser according to how you want to view it.

I fail to mention it in the clip, but always use extra virgin olive oil, preferrably organic.  I use the Greek Iliada organic.  I should have stuck with a couple egg yolks so that it wouldn't have taken me forever and a day to whisk, and I could have produced a much thicker product.  However, those wishing to minimize oils in their diet may appreciate a more egg-rich sauce, which will be thinner.

Sorry about the blasted phone rings!  THAT won't happen in the future.  I cut out the last couple of those annoying rings anyway.  Let me know if you can't see this, which I don't think will be a problem.

I've made my own mayonnaise with a similar technique a few times and there seems to be something missing for me. I suppose what I'm after is the flavor of all the bad stuff in commercially made mayonnaise. Also there is a type of mayonnaise made in Japan I believe called tobiko that Japanese restaurants use for their spicy tuna sushi and their kani and spicy seafood salads. That stuff is my absolute favorite. My favorite flavors by far are spicy and creamy/fatty; something between creamy mayonnaise and hot sauce would be my favorite condiment if it existed.

I just need to experiment I guess. So do you think that "tobiko mayonnaise" is mayo with flying fish eggs in it? That certainly makes sense because there is definitely fish eggs in the kani salad sauce.

Anyone know how to get raw unsalted fish eggs in USA? Usually at Japanese places they use salted fish eggs, and then there's caviar but I'm guessing that's cooked. I wouldn't mind raw lightly salted with sea salt either.

Thanks again for all the help Satya.

Here's the chickens, whose eggs have such orange yolks from all day in the sun, eating a natural diet, and frolicking with poor kitties who must compete for scraps.

And try as the veg crowd might to claim that chickens are vegetarians (look at popular health food store egg cartons), chickens are omnivores.  They love meat, especially in winter.  Currently, our compost bin has 6 inches of scratched dirt around an otherwise grassy surface.  Why?  This is bug season.  And so I throw out veg matter, which attracts bugs, which attracts chickens.  Talk about harmony!

I think that photo was shot in late winter when meat bits were being thrown out.  Thus the presence of Stormy kitty, who has been trained not to eat the chickens, but nonetheless likes a raw meat treat, just as we all do!  (He sure wasn't eating anything else with the birds!) 

You are in the South, yes?  Do you enjoy any country living?
