When I was growing up, whenever we had company, I alway had to make
the mayo.  This meant half an hour of stirring egg yolks with olive
oil dribbled in to emulsify the mixture.

A couple of years ago my wife got me a Braun one-armed mixer.  This
device costs about twenty US dollars and includes a recipe book for
things like shakes, etc.  It also includes a thirty second mayo recipe
that tastes pretty good.  I don't remember the exact list of
ingredients, but I do remember that you just put all of the stuff in
the cup that comes with the gadget and turn it on.  Voil'a! Mayo.
Check out your favorite gadget store for this nice-to-have mixer.
