Don't have time to make this. Probably time consuming but enjoyable to make if you have the time or the weather (who wants to be indoors cooking in the Summer?) Don't make this for the creep who puts ketchup on everything. Wouldn't it be annoying after spending so much time cooking someone throws some unwanted condiment onto the food? Enjoy!!

Using a hand-held electric mixer set on medium high, beat the sugar and egg yolks in the bowl for 1 minute, or until the mixture is well blended.
