    Had many fried bologna sammys  when I was younger. Up here in Canada we call it Newfie Steak! 
    My dad was a Newf and they were they poor when he was young. Bolgna was a staple for them and the other delicasie that they had that didn't catch in our household growing up was....SPAM!
    Spam sandwiches are nasty!
    Them Hawaiian Islanders love that stuff.

    Question.

    Anyone ever make their own mayo?  I've been wanting to try making my own because I read that fresh made mayo is amazing.

    Never made my own mayo
    My mother always used to make her own mayo , from what I remember she would use egg yolks & oil drizzle  in very slowly as you scrambled them , this was yrs ago and it’s the Chilean version of mayo..

    The difference from the mayo my mother used to make is she only used the yolks of the eggs, this recipe uses the whole egg ..

    Just made a (nearly) perfect french omelette for Mrs FMe's Mother's Day breakfast.  Forgot to take a picture but learning to cook an omelette the classic/French style is something I loved doing.  
    I ate omelette almost every day for a few months back when I worked on that skill.
    So..... tasty!

    It's just Grands bisquit dough with the center punched out and fried up.  So good!  And so much easier than real donuts, though they are a little better.

    Eggs are Sous vide’d. First time doing that. So good. Happy Mother’s Day

    My attempt at cooking last week is still in the fridge, mostly uneaten :angry:

    Guess I’ll continue to live vicariously :lol:

    Cliffy how long did that take, to do the eggs?
    I love the idea of sous vide, but some of the things I see people do would seem to be easier/faster to do in the traditional style?

    They had an episode on sous vide and the the ones that tested best on America's Test Kitchen on PBS. They had it on in the past few months. Interesting.

    Found it!

    Just about 20 minutes. My wife and I have Slightly different views on scrambled eggs and these were about as perfect as it gets.  The temperature is pretty high for Sous vide water. Took a while to heat up

    See what happens when you take away our easy access to restaurants - plus some extra time on our hands  and a little boredom (at least for me). That is the recipe for our culinary skills to be put to good use. Bravo to everyone.

    Interesting on the sous vide.
    We used one out at fishing camp to cook damn near perfect steaks.  It took a long time, as I recall through all of the partying.....and I know that a bunch of us gave my buddy guff about the idea that we felt we could use a cast iron skillet or his grill on the deck and make a damn amazing steak in less than ten minutes.

    A cool toy to play around with.  I would have fun trying different things in it.

    Meat takes a lot longer than the eggs. Steaks are at least an hour in the water, depending on how thick they are

    There really is no better way to cook steak though. You really can’t overcook it because there is no way it will get to a higher temp than the water. It would take a damn near magician to be able to beat a Sous vide plus a quick sear on the grill or cast iron with just the grill or cast iron. 

    Have done basically every protein with it. Anything that is fairly expensive and you want a perfect temp, there’s no beating it
