Hellmann’s Mayonnaise, Bring out the Best, & More
OK… I’ll admit it, we are a household of passionate Hellmann’s Lovers. There are only three of us: Jeffrey, Mom and me…and you would think there are a dozen of us, the way we go thru Mayo!
Jeffrey is the primary cook and grocery shopper and he starts to twitch if there are fewer than 3 jars of Mayo, unopened, in the pantry. (Yes, we are lucky enough to live in a 100 year old house with a pantry… it makes up for the fact that the kitchen is a slooow work in process)
Now, due to height constraints, I don’t let him buy the REALLY big jars because they just don’t work well in our refrigerator, so I guess that might account for some of his worry about running out. *VeryBigGrin*
As you may know, I LOVE collecting cookbooks… the more vintage and unique the better. A couple of weeks ago I scored an really interesting 1979 cookbook called *That Amazing Ingredient: Mayonnaise*.
It has quite a bit of history and *fun facts to know and tell* about mayo. It also has some very intriguing recipes.
Here is one that I am dying to try:
