Cooking Musings: Onions

Wednesday, November 3, 2021

As many of you may (or may not) be aware, I like being in full control of my circumstances and environment. This is because in my experience, many things beyond my control have not gone very well for me.

Many of you also know this extends to my failed attempts to grow plants. Where others have been plantitas and plantitos, I have not been successful except where spring onions are concerned.

I saw this onion hiding among my pile of onions just now. It's growing beautifully and reminds me that some things just do better, grow better, ARE better when left well enough alone, outside of my scope of control. 

(That said, I also worry that taking it out of its hiding place might kill it. I'm also wondering if it prefers to be called Oliver or Abby Vedalia.)

I am still in the thick preparing our meals for the next few days, but I will just relax and maybe just go with the flow, kind of like my onion buddy.
