Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
OK, how do you do that? I can't whisk anything unless I'm holding the bowl with my left hand and whisking with my right, and then I have no more hands with which to pour the thin stream of oil.
Pampered Chef has these great stainless steel mixing bowls with a silicone bottom that keeps it on the counter.
I've been using the blender, but I like Jess's not cleaning the blender when you could be eating sandwiches point. I suspect it would require retraining my arm from decades of vigorous whisking practice to switch, though.
I was pretty excited when I discovered the central plastic part of my blender's rubber lid is removable and invertible and has a little hole so you can fill it with oil and, voila, thin stream into the blender. I think the food processor does it too. Technology, making homemade mayo more accessible.
If you have a food processor, a lot of them have a little cup inside the flat lid with a hole in the bottom. If you pour the oil into that little cup while the food processor is running, it'll stream into the mayo at the right rate.
All the Mighty Leaf herbal teas infusions I've tried have been way sweet - not sugary sweet, but more like hot fruit juice than herbal tea.
I've tasted a bunch I didn't like, but Drew and Pix have a few flavored black teas ML makes that they use for iced tea that I like a lot. There's a peach flavored that gives a perfect hint of peach, while still tasting like an unsweetened black iced tea.
I lost that bit of my food processor about three moves ago. Oh well!
(And I don't own a blender because I have a food processor, two mini-preps, a stick blender and five whisks. And no dishwasher.)
I just saw your tag and lost it giggling, Jess.
Hi Sean! how is it being back?
xkcd ftw!
Hah, I woke up to that strip tacked to my office bulletin board. My geeky love.
Bottled iced tea is nast, Sean, although I see the convenience factor. I always have a huge pitcher of decaf brewed tea in the icebox.
I live on Mighty Leaf Ginger Peach iced tea. So good, and not sweet at all. I also love their Black Currant and Mango Ceylon for iced tea. We always have a pitcher of iced tea in the fridge. Sometimes I use one of their plain black teas and just add a bunch of fresh mint from the garden. Yum.
