A Real Treat

A whole big bunch of thanks to the very sweet person who sent me this bag of wonderful Vidalia onions which arrived in the mail today.


Papa Pea and I each had one roasted as the veggie with our dinner tonight.  Were they good?

YOU BETCHA'!

Thanks, dear friend!

    Wow - nice gift. I've heard they are similar to the Walla Walla Onion out here in Washington - sweet and juicy.

    Wonderful gift!! We're onion lovers here, too. We're planting Walla Walla's this year, and should have them in by sundown!

      Mark - Got those onions in?? Good thing all onions are actually quite nutritious, as I put them in A LOT of my cooking!

    Vidalias are on the market here now. I haven't bought any yet. They are the best.

    Candy onions are almost as good in my area. I didn't put any out this year but in the past I have grown them to baseball size and larger.

      Glenda - I've never heard of Candy onions. Must be one of those varieties that only grows in the south?

      I had a wonderful crop of both yellow storage onions last year (still have good ones in the basement!), but this year I'm gonna concentrate on trying to get some BIG ones to grow rather than just medium sized ones.

      Leigh - I would assume Vidalias are readily available in your area? If so, enjoy!
