Generally, no, I’m not concerned about death by mayonnaise. However, I do eat vegetarian/vegan products (mostly veggie burgers and “chicken” patties when I need a meal quickly). I have a vegan friend - I like to keep at least one in my corner in case there’s ever a species war - who uses Vegenaise, and I tend to trust her food opinions.

I’ll give it a try, thanks for the suggestion!

Good post. I was looking for a different recipe and came across yours by chance. If you’re really concerned about death by mayonnaise, try a product called Vegenaise. It’s actually good for you (grapeseed oil based) and I have used it in numerous recipes…noone in my family can tell the difference.

So when you finally write about meat, you write about how much preparing it disgusts you. I think you’re a vegetarian waiting to come out of the pantry.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the unhealthy chicken skin. It’s the cup and a half of mayo that’s going to kill you. (You made your own, right?)

Scallions: I use all of the greens, up to where they’re a bit wonky.

And as for that not reading the entire recipe until it’s too late thing, my wife does that all the time. And it still tastes great.

Oh yay!! I’m so glad you liked the book and had immediate success with it! Sounds like a great chicken salad, and I don’t even really like chicken salad. Thanks so much for the (multiple) shout-outs, and happy birthday again!

ps. I often laugh out loud at your posts, but the four knives - none of them props - made me almost totally lose it.
