you're in for some fun! do you have a recipe if you do please post it.

mayo is not easy to make!
here is a tip-add the oil in by drops at first or it will NEVER emulsify

KEL, I posted a recipe for Aioli (olive oil based mayo) under this thread:

Actually making it is quite easy, but you are right in the fact that you must add the oil slowly. Another thing I should mention is that you MUST refrigerate this immediately, and it only keeps for about 3 - 4 days. So you can't make a ton of it and use it for a while; just make what you can use for the next few days. Freezing it will ruin the consistency.

frankenfurter- read your recipe looks good

but you missed one key ingredient- dry mustard this is what stabilizes the emulsification

add 1/4 teaspoon per cup of oil

Cool - I will have to add dry mustard next time. Maybe that's why mine breaks down so quickly in the fridge!
