You are too young to remember, but there was a cooking show called "The Urban Peasant" and he often said, "First thing you do is chop an onion, and while chopping it, think about what you are going to make for supper"
I watched the Urban Peasant everyday as a child. I remember hoping to one day get invited to his house as he would have a guest over at the end of some episodes to eat with him. Gentle soul, loved James’ voice as well. Thanks for stirring up this memory for me, Jim.
As it happens, I cannot eat onions either. Love the smell of onions cooking, even the taste, but alas genetics says 'No'! Like lactose intolerance, there's a certain type of sugar in onions, beets, etc. that I cannot digest (though I can handle small doses of beets).
I agree...onions give the best flavour! Love the smell of them cooking as well! Thankfully, Lonny loves them too! Sadly, the rest of my family have various issues with onions and there just seems to be something missing when I make a big family meal! Thanks for writing so eloquently about one of life's simple pleasures...beautiful❤️❤️

I do remember the Urban Peasant, but not that bit of wisdom. Thanks for adding that. :)

When I was writing this I wondered who would be the one to speak up for this issue. 😂
You know me 🙄
Onions and Bacon frying are like an elixir of the gods. Can’t beat either one😊
K. Add sauerkraut next time you do that for perogies. My Grandma Laila pioneered that one.
