Cooking
My relationship with onions is...a bit tenuous, I suppose.
I've never really cared for them, but over the years I've come to understand their importance to food, to cooking.
I love the smell of onions cooking in a hot pan; I hate the crunch of an onion.
I appreciate the flavor onions give a dish; I just don't like eating them!
Saturday night, we made a Fritatta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, as well as some fabulously crunchy hash browns.
Looked good, smelled good.
Took the first bite, and...ugh. The onions.
Matt and I agreed there were too many onions. Felt like dozens in every bite!
I actually dissected my fritatta, taking out each and every one.
Flavor=good. Texture=bad.
The fritatta was nice, but next time? Reduce the onions, and cook them a heck of a lot longer!

Of our Mexican-themed dishes (for a while, anyway). Happy (belated) Cinco de Mayo! For dinner, we had Chicken Chilaquiles and a Cheese Fritatta with Pico de Gallo, followed by Dulce de Leche Crepe Torte for dessert. The chilaquiles: shredded chicken (and...
