Very thick mayo in a blender jar

Very thick mayo in a blender jar

I have not bought mayonnaise once since I began boycotting the USA in January, 2025.

The most important tip for the stick blender method is DO NOT BREAK THE YOLK before blending. Be VERY careful about that.

Do that right, slowly rise up, itโ€™ll be great. www.seriouseats.com/two-minute-m...

Two griffon vultures sit facing each other on a rock in the sun. Their beaks touch lightly. They have light-coloured heads and fluff on their necks that looks like a collar. Their brown plumage clearly shows the texture of the feathers.

A newborn lamb stands slightly unsteady on green grass, its small body still fluffy with tight, cream-coloured curls. The lamb has delicate black markings on its nose and around one eye, with dark patches on its lower legs and hooves. One ear glows pink in the light, showing the thinness of the skin. The lambโ€™s expression is calm and curious as it steadies itself in the spring pasture. ๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒฑ
