    How do locals pronounce New Prague?

    Whoops, I left that out. They say New PRAYgue.

    Quoted message said:

    Oy.

    Well, don't blame me! Inasmuch as the area was settled by Czechs and
    Bohemian immigrants, I think it's interesting that it's pronounced that
    way ‹ I mean, I'm thinkin' that the immigrants' first language would be
    Czech and they'd say Novy Praha ‹ and that it would have stuck. Yet
    another of life's mysteries that I don't care all that much about.

    Bob, are you from the USan south/southeast? Nothing pejorative
    intended; just a question, as I'm curious about the demographics of
    Miracle Whip preference.

    I live in southern Ontario. My mother preferred Miracle Whip. I preder
    mayonnaise, especially freshly made.

    Miracle Whip better. (It's what I grew up with) Especially the old
    Miracle Whip that had soybean oil as the first ingredient instead of the
    second. So what do I need to mix into homemade mayo to make homemade
    Salad Dressing. Corn starch and water paste, paprika, and sugar?

    Here's what I came up with. It's very close to that Recipezaar link
    someone posted. (Thanks, btw)

    Salad Dressing

    2 egg yolks
    3 Tbsp bottled lemon juice
    1/2 tsp celery salt
    1 tsp mustard powder
    1/4 tsp paprika
    1 1/2 cups vegetable oil

    3/4 cups water
    2 Tbsp cornstarch
    5 tsp sugar
    2 Tbsp white vinegar

    Mix water, cornstach, sugar, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Whisk and
    heat to boiling to make a thin paste. Set aside to cool.

    Combine egg yolks, lemon juice, celery salt, mustard, and paprika in a
    tall skinny bowl. Add half of the salad oil and mix with handheld
    blender to make a mayonnaise. Add the remaining oil slowly and blend
    that in too. Don't worry too much if you add the oil too fast and it
    separates a little. Add the warm cornstarch paste and blend until
    smooth and thick. It will get even thicker in the refrigerator.

    Notes: Good but doesn't quite taste right. Probably celery is the
    wrong spice. Try white pepper next time.

    That looks truly disgusting. It is, however, funny that they specify
    "bottled lemon juice," as if using fresh just wouldn't be right.

    That's my recipe, and I specified bottled lemon juice because that's
    what I used. You can substitute fresh if you want and it will probably
    turn out just fine. But if it doesn't, don't blame me.

    Miracle Whip is not available where I live, so it's nice to have a jar
    of this in the fridge.

    I have a recipe for corny dogshit.

    Feed you dog a can of corn. Check after every defecation. Eventually
    there will appear corny dogshit. Goes well with Miracle Whip.
