I can't believe they didn't even have it frozen!<br /><br />You know, you might want to put a little sugar on those onions. The sweet ones I buy throughout the winter are never as good as a Vidalia.Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-69545744402557838202013-05-10T13:38:17.593-04:002013-05-10T13:38:17.593-04:00Shopping trip update: I found some "sweet oni...Shopping trip update: I found some "sweet onions". Not Vidalias, but I'll make do.<br /><br />No rhubarb. Not frozen, not fresh (way too early around here), and not even brought in from Mexico or somewhere.<br /><br />So I looked at those frozen pies, thinking I could at least get my strawberry/rhubarb fix there while I wait...but no. No rhubarb anywhere.<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />That's the last straw. I'm looking for a place to put in the rhubarb patch in the yard this afternoon!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-9652503934264710992013-05-10T13:34:36.667-04:002013-05-10T13:34:36.667-04:00You are definitely in the crazy zone!

Unfortunately, we don't even have a grill. Yet. (The gas grill was overtaken by wasp nests a few years ago, and the charcoal grill bottom rotted out, so we scrapped both last fall.) I do like a hint of onion flavor, whereas our d-i-law loves onions. Our 21mo grandson loves to eat them raw. *shudder*<br /><br />And I pronounce Vidalia half-right--short "i", long "a". And I live about an hour or so east of Ruthy, so don't let her fool you into believing all Northeasterners, or even western NYers, pronounce it her way! LOL (Feel better, Ruthy!)<br /><br />Susanna, prayers with you about your dog.

I'm praying she goes peacefully while I'm at work or perks up enough to get through the weekend - the vet I switched to is out of town today through the weekend and won't be back until Monday which figures. oh well I'll take it as it comes. on top of it all my other dog Sasha is limping a bit more, another friend who lost Logan last year is having a rough time with mother's day, and a friend I've seen maybe twice in the last 12 months called with a crisis - she has feelings for a woman! hoo boy needless to say I feel like I'm in the twilight zone or a crazy dream/nightmare :-(<br /><br />hope ya'll are having a better day!<br /><br />SusannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-87628179553013260312013-05-10T10:44:29.972-04:002013-05-10T10:44:29.972-04:00Yes, Jan!

I can usually find them at Walmart when they're in season.<br /><br />My favorite way to eat them? Sliced, on a grilled burger :)<br /><br />But we're having steaks on the grill tomorrow, and your grilled onions would be a fantastic accompaniment, wouldn't they? So now my trip to the store has two items on it - frozen rhubarb and Vidalia onions!Jan Drexlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609332074458434806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-75838950905827595572013-05-10T08:34:36.149-04:002013-05-10T08:34:36.149-04:00I love Vidalia onions and we all mispronounce it u...I love Vidalia onions and we all mispronounce it up here... And my head is stuffy so I don't dare re-educate the entire Northeast today...<br /><br />We say: Vi-doll-ya <br /><br />So we're totally wrong but we love these things! Beth got a recipe for onion rings from Pioneer Woman's website and that's her "thing" now at gatherings to make a bajillion of these babies with Vidalia's soaked in buttermilk then shaken in seasoned flour.<br /><br />Of course deep-fried anything is just wonderful except when you're dieting because Nebraska pics showed a chubby Ruthy...<br /><br />Grilled onions. I am so totally trying this because it will be delicious with our Mother's Day foods!!Ruth Logan Hernehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550734775151341968noreply@blogger.com
