Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Thrive to spite them

I just saw someone suggest a tip of buying onions in bulk, then cooking them and freezing in portion sizes you'd use for cooking. Then just defrost and use as needed.

Yipes Consuela! I feel for you on that one.

Beans are done. Succulent and delicious. Why isn't it dinner time yet?

I just buy onions as needed, and if I find I have too many, I start thinking onion soup.

Great, already getting ideas to make a small mobile cart/workspace for the kitchen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I love onions in all forms. But I can't eat too much raw onion.

I made meatballs last night, and today I decided to make a sauce for them. I found a recipe online for a sweet and sour sauce using soy, ketchup and chilli sauce. When I see chilli sauce, I assume rooster sauce, but these are way too hot!!

I like onions, but I hate them raw. I like their flavor, so if they're on a burger or something, I won't ask that they be taken off. If I'm using them in a recipe, like a pasta salad, I will soak them in acid or cold water to reduce their sharpness.
