    That’s why onion shortages are perfectly acceptable. :cool:

    I see one in the radius of my next drop off, I don't understand onions... what is with the tarp setup?. Do you have to pull over and drop the tarps every time its going to rain and raise them back up when it stops?

    You can leave the sides down, just open the front and rear flaps until it's looking like rain, then pull them down.

    I like onions.

    Especially pickled and on a taco.'

    Or sautéed to perfection for a burger.

    Or in a salad.

    Oh hell, I like onions just about all the time. We had a shortage of onions back in August but now my stores seem to be stocked with them. An even then it was just sweet/yellow onion. Still had plenty of white and red/purple.

    My grandfather would eat white onions raw. Eat them like an apple. He always carried a couple in his saddle bags if he was out on horseback all day. Maybe a little jerky, too. I take pages from his book whenever I can. When I had to show a CHP my pickup registration he commented that it smelled like onions. He was right. There were two in the glove box.
