The Secret of Happiness

OK, not really. But I promise this recipe will make you slightly happier. If you like mayonnaise.
You will need:

A little jar (I used an old pesto jar)
1/2 cup of regular mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
small clove garlic 

Plop that mayonnaise into your little jar. Add curry. Whisk around with a fork until the curry is blended in and mayo is a nice yellow. Crush the garlic in a press (or chop really fine) and mix in. Give it 15-20 minutes in the fridge for the flavors to combine. Boom, curry-garlic mayonnaise! It's the best stuff on earth. Use it anywhere you would regular mayonnaise--on sandwiches, in coleslaw, in salad dressing... it also makes a great dip for steamed vegetables. When I was little, my mom's curry mayo was the only thing that could induce me to eat broccoli.
Curry-garlic mayonnaise is even slightly better for you than regular mayonnaise! It has vitamin C and antioxidants in addition to all that yummy, yummy fat and cholesterol.  You may even find yourself using a little less of it than regular, because it has a stronger flavor. Plus there's that helping-you-eat-healthy-vegetables thing. (It's also delicious on plain white rice, but let's pretend I've never done that.) Truly, curry-garlic mayonnaise is a glorious foodstuff. Go make some.
