Quote of the Day:
” We all exist under the same sun, no matter where we live”
Did you know that...
When you make your own mayonnaise at home, the lemon and oil do not mix or blend in together, but when you add in egg yolks, because of their lecithin content, they act as a natural emulsifier and emulsify the oil and lemon mixture naturally..no chemicals needed. If you have ever made mayonnaise at home, share your tips and recipes here for home made mayonnaise..
Lemons pair so well with seafood and this recipe combines both.. I use this dish as an appetizer or sometimes as a main course for a light dinner meal. Either way, it is easy and quick to make and will impress your guests. Serve with a glass of chilled white wine. It was certainly a welcome change today..,a light Holiday Lunch..after a full week of multi course meals everyone seems without energy for cooking as well as eating..still 4 more days to go of Holiday celebrations here
