I literally laughed out loud at this... a funny story popped into my head!
Although a fair warning... this may be one of those funny-to-me-but-doesn't-translate-well stories!
The last time I catered a party I was cruising around my local Cash & Carry looking for items on my list. By chance (as I was checking off a huge produce list and freezing my tushy off in their cooler) I stumbled across a 5 lb. bag of pre-diced onions. I literally started whooping and hollering! I grabbed the bag and went streaking around the store looking for my husband because I was so dang excited. I didn't even know such a convenience item existed.
When I got home, I called everyone I knew (who truly couldn't care less) and gushed over my find. I was so happy over this item I wanted to cry!
I still get a little misty when I think about it! I thought it was the best invention EVER! (and wished I had discovered it about 24 events ago!)

It's too bad she gets such a bad rap.. She actually has excellent knife skills and
good made from scratch food. If you don't like her just read her recipes on foodtv. They are quite good. No cream soups, no cake mixes, good looking food.
She has done all this from a career of doing supermarket food demos.

Oh, I probably should have mentioned that! It was for a wedding for
300 and I was marinating 40 pounds of kobe-style ribs (sometimes called flanken ribs). The marinade (x20) calls for diced onions. Best time-saving thing I ever found. I still get excited!

I know I know I know. She's good at what she does and she's growing on me a little...
but it's a REFRIGERATOR! It already has a name!
Yet, her Thanksgiving potatoes (quartered red, new, and purple potatoes, spread out in a dish, S&P, and covered with cream that was simmered with sage and garlic, then strained over the potatoes, topped with a little Parmesan, then baked until brown and bubbly) are TDF.
