Morgan has an unholy abhorrence for onion, so I often leave it out of my cooking to suit her. Since she’s out of town for the next several weeks, I’m cookin’ with onion–and lots of it.
Good thing I done went up the holler.

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

Just in case someone is wondering how to know if you are allergic without showing hives and such, if after eating something with onion powder in it, your mouth especially your tongue starts feeling like its on fire you may have the beginning of a food allergy. Its been harder to find things to eat on a restaurant menu that doesn’t contain onions in one form or another.

Just coming out of a caramelized onion phase here. Wanted some to put on a burger, then ended up eating them on EVERYTHING! Yum!! Grilled cheese and caramelized onion was just the beginning…

Here’s a warning, too. There are mucklands (read: onion farms) a few miles from here and it has been way too wet to get the starts in. The ones that have already been planted were washed out. So if you see a good deal on onions, grab them and start dehydrating for the winter.

We do a lot of grilling in MN. Do you in other states?

Needless to say my aversion to cooked onion went away as I got older and started my own cooking. I’m still not fond of biting into a chunk of onion so I always chop them very fine. In macaroni salad where I like the favor but not unexpectedly biting down on apiece of onion, I started growing chives to use in their place. One pot outside spread and the winds blew the seeds so they are almost as numerous as mint plants in my flower beds if I don’t keep after them. I dried chive bloosoms and now chop them up and add them to salads for a delightful onion flavor without the actual onion. Try that on Morgan. I bet she can’t identify one bit of onion in the salad. “What do you mean this potato salad has onion in it? Show me an onion in the salad. I certainly didn’t put onions in the salad since I know you don’t like them.” (a twist of a Whipply Snidelash style villan’s mustache and a grin)
