Makin' mayonnaise.

Yeah, you read that right.  Mother-in-law and I MADE mayo today...out of necessity...well, we thought.  There's no reason to give you the details on why we made the mayo, but I thought I might share my findings with you.  To make 2 cups of mayo, you need: 2 cups of some oil (we used olive oil), 2 egg YOLKS (not whites, surprisingly), and then a pinch and dash of these - dry mustard (never heard of until today...), salt, cayenne, paprika, vinegar, and water.  And maybe I'm forgetting some other stuff - not sure.  With ours, we didn't have cayenne so we used hot Louisiana Hot Sauce, and I'm pretty sure we used more olive oil than we were supposed to and we actually added another egg and all 3 egg whites.  So, ours wasn't perfect, but it was pretty clear what it was supposed to be.  And after all of this, we didn't eat the potato salad tonight (why we made the mayo), so we could have just bought some in town.  Hilarious!

Additionally, I worked a little more on the site today, adding a few more tags and working on getting the pictures from webs onto here.  Baby steps!  After tomorrow, Jon will have been at the new job for a week, so maybe I'll weigh in a bit about that.  Goodnight!

Small miracles

Jon & I got home later than expected tonight (err...yesterday) and much to our bewilderment, everything was set at home. The dogs had been fed and the upstairs air was set to the temperature at which we sleep! Whoa! Totally unexpected! Systematically bringing the temp down usually takes 2 hours or so and we try not to start the process before 8pm.  So, somewhere between 7 & 8:30, Husband and I crashed. It was glorious. I woke up around 12:30 (as did Jon), handled the dogs, ate a bowl of cereal (dinner), checked radar to see many storms coming our way, and now I am trying to go back to sleep. Yay, today!

How high can you go?

Jon started the new job yesterday and we began our new adult schedule. It sucks. I do not like 5:30am. I also do not like 6am. Know what else I don't like? Storms that mess up your house a/c. Going to bed at midnight is not ideal for meeting 5:30am on the flipside.

Regarding the picture on this post - It's easy....er...as hot as 1-2-3.  Eek.

PS Not a huge fan of mobile blogger...I have no clue where the picture will turn up...or apparently how huge it will be...yikes (If you didn't see it, I fixed it from a computer).

By the way

It's really really really hot. I know FB is full of people who have also noticed, but I wanted to weigh in my thoughts, too. Coming to you live from my air mattress in the kitchen just after visiting the 95 degree upstairs.

And yeah, I think I will add a car thermometer pic....

The Big Change

Jon has accepted a fulltime position at The University of Tulsa!!  He will be a sound tech, etc. and everybody is really excited about it!  Ask if you would like more details.  Be happy for us, though.  :^)
