Of all things, today is National Onion Day. Why not? The most widely consumed vegetable in the world deserves to be celebrated for its versatility and many healthful qualities.
There's nothing like the luscious smell of cooked onions wafting through the house to bring a certain person up from the basement. I don't think a day goes by when I don't use some onion in something.
Our wonderful Washington Walla Walla Sweet onions are just showing up in local stores now.
Marji and Dad, wonder if you can get them at your Sprouts produce store in Las Vegas?
Sweet onions are juicier than storage onions because they contain more water. Enjoy while you can. The shelf is a few weeks at most, one of the few truly seasonal vegetables left. Hint: they make fabulous homemade onion rings.
"Life is short, and it's up to you to make it sweet."
