on food

I really like onions. They make almost anything taste a million times better. For the first 4 1/2 years of my marriage I only ever used dried minced onions because Dave doesn't really love "onion chunks." But real onions make things so much better I either leave the pieces big enough he can eat around them, or small enough he can't tell. Because man I love onions.

I owe it to Rookie Cookie, who's Soup Guide has opened up a wonderful world of yummy easy dinners that we don't get tired of because there are so many possibilities. Not soup related, we had this for dinner tonight. (minus the broccoli because i didn't have any on hand.) Dave was skeptical, but afterward he said, "I almost don't want to eat a treat because that had such good flavor." (He ate a treat anyway, but still)

I like yummy food.

I love onions too. My MIL always grates them because 1/2 of her family doesn't like them either, so you can always try that. :)

I'm going to try that recipe - sounds yummy!

frying onions in butter makes your house smell good. I read once that if you want people to like your house when you're trying to sell it, either have onions frying or cookies baking to make the house smell good
