Yeah, I missed a week. Did anyone even notice?

Garlic-Dill Mayonnaise
1 large egg yolk
1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp fresh lemon juice (I used Meyer lemons from our yard!)
salt & pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil (I used a combination of olive and canola, to cut down the bitterness of straight olive)
1 tsp or so chopped fresh dill
2 stalks green garlic, minced

Beat together the egg yolk, mustard, lemon juice, salt and pepper.  Whisk in the oil a few drops at a time until the mixture thickens.  Then whisk in the remaining oil in a thin stream.  Stir in the dill and green garlic.  Chill for at least an hour to allow the flavors to meld.  Serve over fish.

What worked: Extremely good with the plank-smoked fresh Bay Area salmon we had for dinner last night.  Nice creamy yellow color offset by flecks of green.

What didn't: Um, I was pretty happy with it.

Will I make it again? I might.  We have to use up the rest of it, first -- the wife suggested using it with steamed artichokes.  Yum.

Now there's some mayonnaise I could get into...

So to speak.

Commercial mayonnaise in a jar is to homemade mayonnaise as:
1) toe jam is to jam
2) head cheese to cheese.
