Just Starting

I have wanted to start a blog for years. This is good.
My first post will be about my search for a low-fat, low-salt mayonnaise recipe. I'm really into condiments, unfortunately. My German/French heritage, I suppose. But I have been tracking my food intake and belatedly realize that I have been eating about 5 grams of sodium a day. Terrible, way too much, especially for a 57 year-old man with boarder-line hypertension.
My search was very successful, many recipes for mayo out there. I tried three low-fat and one regular mayonnaise recipe. Only two worked (half of the recipes failed to emulsify and stayed liquid even after two tries). Last night it looked like the Greek yogurt recipe has the best potential. Taste tests are today.
