Okay. I'm a whimp. Fear of failure. Not a good trait for someone who wants to learn to cook. A cook must be courageous. I've been tip-toeing around the 3rd of Alice's Four Essential Sauces. Finally this morning I screwed up my resolve and made an attempt at mayonnaise. Slowly -- almost painfully -- whisking in those drips, drips, drips of olive oil. Whisking like a mad woman all the while. Considering that I've never been much good at multitasking, this was a serious challenge. But I did it! I made mayonnaise! Garlic mayonnaise, aioli, to be precise since I also pounded the heck out of some garlic cloves and added that to the mix.
I think tonight we'll have simple Dagwood sandwiches, slathered in aioli.
Am I the last person on the planet to have actually made mayonnaise?
