It starts like this: The other day I was reading about how to make pickled Easter eggs.

So we took my laptop into the kitchen, followed the directions, and now we have these
But they were looking so tempting, we had to just try one to see how it tasted. Oh my goodness. DH left to go to work and here I am, day after day, looking at these eggs, knowing how good they are going to be. ARGH! Willpower, don't fail me now!
Now I have tons more eggs (uncooked) in the fridge. So surely I can satisfy that craving somehow! Then I ran across this post about Carolyn Renee's egg peeling dilemma. And boy doesn't that egg salad sandwich look yummy? So I steamed some eggs (hopefully someday she will try THAT little trick) and got them all peeled:

So, I went back to my list of blogs and hunted down an excellent recipe for homemade mayonnaise. It turned out better than anything I could have bought at the store- and I can pronounce every ingredient in it! It's a bonus that this recipe is cooked- I don't have to worry about making a sauce with raw eggs! But it does have to cool down. And while it is, I'm going to go watch one of these:
Score!!! I won these awesome DVD's in a giveaway hosted by Susan over at e-i-e-i-omg. Yeah, you can be jealous! Or you can just wonder "what in the world is she going to find in someone else's blog next?!?"
