n a glass bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and dry ingredients.  Combine lemon juice and vinegar in a separate bowl then thoroughly whisk half into the yolk mixture.  Start whisking briskly, then start adding the oil a few drops at a time until the liquid seems to thicken and lighten a bit.  Then increase the oil flow to a constant stream.  Once half of the oil is in add the rest of the lemon juice mixture.  Continue whisking until all of the oil is incorporated.
