I didn't do the room temperature as it was too late by the time I saw your note, but the end result wasn't bad for my first result and will serve the purpose. I only made one cup. I found a huge bottle of extra virgin at Trader Joe's yesterday for $5 so I grabbed it - next time I will pick up the "regular" olive oil as well so I will have both.

The experiment worked - the artichoke was tasty - odd - but tasty I think making the mayo from scratch helped me from eating too much of it since I KNEW just how much oil was in it
