sweet onion ~ I will give you 2 points.


the missing ingredient in the Lake Geneva chicken salad ~ I will give you 10 points.


This onion cracked me up this morning.  I was pouring my first mug-full of coffee and I glanced to my right and saw the pictured onion.  I, then, began to ask myself, Why in the world did I buy an onion?  What yummy dish am I planning to create?  When BAM -- it hit me.  (Not literally lest you think this onion is capable of war!)  This onion was supposed to be cut up and mixed in with the Whole Foods Sonoma Chicken Salad recipe I made. Oooooops!
