Food Wednesday and my Birthday

 Greetings!

Well today I am 70. Yeah I hate it.  Mr. M. got me something I have wanted for a long time. An emulsion blender. It was on sale and it's a nutribullet so I can't go wrong with that.

Mr. M. also made me a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting from scratch. He followed the recipe from the dark cocoa box. Seriously, he did such a good job, and he cleaned up as he went.

It's Food Wednesday with Cathy and I have to show you what I made with the blender.

Some of you know I have been playing around with Aquafaba and what can actually be made with it. Aquafaba is the juice from chick peas that takes the place of eggs. It whips up just like meringue, and as I am learning it can be substituted anywhere you need eggs. So why not mayo? I have made mayo in the past, like decades ago but not like this.

	You will need, 1/4 C Aquafaba, 2 t sugar, 1/4 t salt, 2t vinegar, 3/4 C vegetable oil, a tiny pinch of turmeric, a jar or container to mix in. Add all ingredients except oil into container and blend until thickened. Slowly drizzle the oil while blending. When all of the oil is in keep blending until thick. It will get even thicker as it sets in the fridge.  Now, for me this recipe is too sweet and tastes more like a salad dressing, (which I don't use) or Miracle Whip (which I really don't use) Because of the sweetness I am going to use this to make cookies. I will show you next week. When I make this again I will leave out the sugar. I will say that it is easy, fun and takes no time at all.

I hope you give this a try.

Have a nice day
