    This doesn't answer your question, but I'd say...don't eat the mayo.

    lol I had previously given up my mayo (forbidden love) but I had oral surgery a few days ago and haven't been able to eat, so i decided to make some mashed potatoes to get my calorie count up. I like my mashed potatoes with mayo.
    :/ weird. But I've never tried it, so I won't knock it - I've been told eating potatoes with KETCHUP is weird, but uh hello? Potatoes = soft fries.

    I weigh just about everything. 1. because it is more accurate 2. because it creates less dishes.

    I find that they turn out a lot smoother when you add mayo. mmm....

    What about butter?
    So I actually just measure my butter with the lines on the side of the stick. I'm sure that's not as accurate as weighing, but I mostly use butter when cooking and it's just easier for me to measure it that way.

    I always measure it on a scale. Not only is it more accurate, but there is one less dish to wash.

    ^this is how I do it too. I put the jar on the scale, tare the scale so that it reads zero, and then scoop out as much as I want. The negative number will tell me how much I used.

    Plus, who doesn't want to feel like a mad scientist while they're cooking?

    I would have never thought of doing this.. total "ah-ha" moment. lol. Thanks!

    Weigh as much as you possibly can.
