My brother used to work in an upscale deli on the Upper East Side. They sold their "homemade" mayonnaise packaged in those little cardboard deli containers, at premium prices. Their recipe: Open a jar of Hellman's and scoop it into deli cartons.

Girl not included.
The girl would have been too expensive anyhow.
Ooh, so good!!
“I recently bought a whole sprial cut Ham for 14$ . I cut it up and froze most of it. It tastes just fine after it thaws.”
we do that too: it’s the only way around here to be able to eat real ham outside of the easter, thanksgiving and christmas holidays, because no one carries hams except for right before those holidays ...
The one at 1064 Madison Avenue is in ritzy territory. A block away from Park Avenue, in the low 80s. Not sure which store they were talking about.
I recently stopped in that one and was thinking of getting one of their cute metal boxes of cookies. The price seemed okay, and then I found out that was just for the box with no cookies inside.
“It’s not worth the cost nor hassle”
absolutely ... and the food is seldom very good or healthy ... being retired, i have plenty of time to cook from scratch or semi-scratch with inexpensive and healthy ingredients ... just made a large batch of arroz con pollo with a whole roasted chicken from Sam’s Club ($4.98), 2 cups organic Lundberg brown rice from Costco (50 cents), two large onions finely diced and braised from Sam’s (maybe a buck), a dozen hard boiled jumbo eggs from Safeway ($3.25), and 3.5 cups organic chicken broth from Costco ($1.50) ... plus salt and pepper ... delicious, healthy, packed with protein, provides two people with meals for maybe three days, total cooking time around 1.5 hours ... we’re not poor or cheap, just like delicious food, healthy food ...
A ham and Swiss on rye, lots of ham, lots of Swiss plenty of mustard or butter it a pretty good sandwich.
The first time my daughter ate some of my homegrown asparagus, she said to me “Oh, this sets the bar really high.*
It is phenomenal.
I did have some problems with asparagus beetles last year and will have to be on the watch for them and catch them early before they lay their eggs on the asparagus. I’m going to try some floating rows covers.
I am looking into companion planting herbs with my veggies to attract beneficial insects and deter pests.
Are you on Dianainwisconsin’s gardening ping list?
Homemade mayo is not that difficult and requires a stick blender.
Canned Krakus Ham is the best.
My dad used to buy a tin of it on occasion and we had a meat slicer and he’s slice it up form ham sandwiches. It must have been pretty cost effective because we did not have a lot of money growing up and my parents made do with what they could or had to.
If Mama Cass and Karen Carpenter split the ham sandwich they could probably both be alive today.
because they’re fkn morons...
What tourists?
You think tourists have enough money and are stupid enough to spend that kind of money on a stinking sandwich?
Yesterday I visited a local sub shop, opened in 1979 - one location only- and got an Italian sub for $6. The place was full of locals, and the owners seemed to know most of them. Good eating, no pretension.
Lol. Yes.
Pfftt... with the cost of living in NYC, they at least earn enough money to be able to afford stuff like that.
Most tourists do not earn NYC wages.
Well. I’ve seen it first hand having lived in the area most of my life.
My wife and I go out at least once a week, just to get out of the house. What used to be a $20 plus tip dinner for 2 before Bidenflation is now around $35. One reason is that my wife has so many issues with food that it’s the one time each week I can have something with some flavor to it.
