Making your own Mayo in 2 minutes


Nobody really thinks how mayo is made when swipe it in your bread, neither does the kids at home or when you pick it up at the store, but did you know you can make your own easy mayo in just a few minutes? I personally like to add in some limes to give it that mexican mayo flavor and how about some chopped up peppers....too mexican for you?



Over at Serious Eats, they show you how to use a whisk, some oil, some eggs, and some water. Traditionally, mayo can be difficult to make, but if you have a hand blender, the process is surprisingly easy. You still use the same ingredients (plus a little Dijon mustard in their recipe,) but the hand blender is the real secret weapon. By using it instead of spending a long time whisking egg yolks and drizzling in oil slowly, you wind up with delicious homemade mayo inside of two minutes.

Deaf woman hears for the first time (video)


Sloan Churman was born deaf. For 29 years, she has relied on reading lips and, to a very limited extent, hearing aids.



Two months ago, she received Envoy Medical’s Esteem Implant, which utilizes ear drum vibrations to bring hearing back to its users. The reaction, captured by her husband on video, is nothing short of extraordinary. Her pure joy is contagious.

Here’s what she said on her YouTube page:

    “I had an implant put in 8 weeks ago called The Esteem Implant by Envoy Medical. I was born deaf and have worn hearing aids from the age of 2, but hearing aids only help so much. I have gotten by this long in life by reading lips. This was taken as they were activating the implant.”

That is So cool and it made my day.
