I hope you enjoy it when you get a chance! Its also really good with lemon and mint , or lemon and dill- depending on what you want to serve it on.

I'm just looking around for things to put it on now! Its great on eggs, meat, and I'll probably make salmon salad with it tomorrow.

Mayo makes me want crusty bread sandwhiches...:S

tonights mayo was sage, fennel, and lavender. YUMMO!!!

Egg salad never tasted so good. The only sad part is that MONTHS of saving bacon grease can disappear in a few short hours the way I consume this stuff. LOL!
