Cooking on the dark side

Many fellow American readers will find my supper idea off the wall and crazy. A few of us are vegetarian or vegans and will perhaps, understand or be amused. I like mayonnaise. I make very tasty mayonnaise. I also admit that mayo is mostly fat. I do not need to gain more weight. In this spirit, I grabbed half a tub of tofu- yes there's that word- TOFU. I tossed chunks of that white soy stuff and some yellow mustard and garlic powder into a blender. I turned the blender on and made lots of awesome noise. The result wasn't quite tart enough so I poured in a little white vinegar. Now I have home made mayonnaise without all that oil. I intend to make egg salad sandwiches for tonight's main course. I'll chop a little raw onion and celery in with the chopped eggs and "mayo" and slap it all on home bread. Tasty!

@andriaperry Tofu in cheesecake. Yum. Recipe hint, please? The egg salad with tofu sub worked out dandy. I just made too much tofu mayo so now I have more for later.

If it works for you what do we have to complain about. I will take my full fat mayo, thank you. I think I am off to make salad for supper.

I'm not quite sure how that would taste, but good job for experimenting and trying to work out a healthier alternative. Companies do tend to put way too many fats and sugars into foods that really aren't necessary.

What a great idea. There is always a new way of doing things if you look/think hard enough.
