If you run out of mayonnaise, but have eggs and plenty of vegetable oil, you can make your own. There is a lot of whisking involved, so having a friend to share the work with is great. Otherwise, you can try using the blender.
Ingredients:
2 egg yolks
13 oz oil
1/2 tbsp vinegar
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dry mustard
drop [...]

The main components of a Caesar salad are Romain lettuce, croutons, Parmesan cheese and the dressing.

Fresh is always best! It is getting a little late in the season, but perhaps there is time before Thanksgiving to get some baking done.
Start with a “pie pumpkin”, they are smaller and sweeter than the ones you use to make jack-o-lanterns with. Slice it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds. Also, cut off [...]

Our buffet went very well. We served a lot of food, and there was nothing but complements from the guests. The guests ate almost all the food that was prepared, and even ran out of waffles and duck legs. Other things on the menu were wild rice hash, asiago hash browns, walleye, tatertot casserole, a [...]
Don’t worry, I know most people agree that chili MUST have meat in it, but I don’t. It is easy to just fry up some hamburger and mix it in. However, a side note: I have had stubborn meat chili eaters enjoy this particular dish.
A lot of the measurements are done “to taste”. Some items [...]
This is of my own creation and I have nothing better to call it than “Chocolate Sponge Roll”. Think of a jelly roll with sponge cake, but instead of putting jelly or fruit inside, put chocolate mousse. But… not only chocolate mousse, you can’t stop there, smother it with whipped cream and caramel sauce. Roll [...]
For our “vegetable fest” each student prepared a vegetable dish and we laid it all out as a buffet. Lots of good things were there, and others I didn’t like: braised cabbage, spaetzle, spinach souffle, some things had a sour cream taste (yuck!) and others were just too spicy for me.
I made Butternut Squash and [...]
