April 21, 2012

this is my 100th post.....I am really having fun doing this each day.

There was a Schwan's fundraiser at church today....worked there for a few hours this morning, then Ross and I had to head into town for some supplies to work on the landing......it is coming along nicely.

We had the tater-tot casserole from January 13th for dinner.  Tomorrow is Ross' birthday and I wanted to make some 1000 island salad dressing for dinner tomorrow....lots of firsts.....I have never used the food processor before.....Ross normally does that.....so first I had to make Mayonnaise....

Mayonnaise: this is from our LOWNEY cookbook from 1912

helpful hint.....make sure all the ingredients are at room temperature....so I took the eggs out of the fridge earlier today so they would be ready....

1/2 tsp ground mustard
1/4 tsp salt
2 eggs
2 Tbsp white vinegar
2 cups veggie oil  (it said to use olive oil....i will try that next time)

in the food processor, combine ground mustard, salt, eggs and vinegar....set the processor at a medium speed and gradually add the oil in...put into a container with a lid and store in the fridge....EASY.... and it tasted great as well. It has a yellow tint because this recipe included the entire egg.



the mayonnaise went into the fridge to cool, we went into the living room to watch a movie and then a couple hours later I made the 1000 island dressing.

1000 Island Dressing: (family recipe)
1 cup ketchup (homemade)
1 cup mayonnaise (homemade)
1/3 cup relish (homemade)
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp sugar

mix all the ingredients together...if it is too thick....add a little milk....put it in a container with a lid and into the fridge to cool.....it tasted wonderful.....it should be even better tomorrow.


did some grocery shopping while we were in town (which is about a 30 minute drive) spent $63

Pleasant Dreams!!!
