I love church bazaars... I am having such fun perusing my latest purchase. Sur La Table

[barb_b]

"Gifts cooks love". I paid $1.00; I have been having such fun reading it and looking at the pictures. Have not tried any recipes; but appreciate the ideas of how to pack / label / offer a recipe, etc. It's has been a dollar well spent!http://www.amazon.com/Gifts-Cooks-Love-Recipes-Giving/dp/0740793500/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1365805498&sr=8-1&keywords=sur+la+table+gifts+cooks+love

Barb, I'll warn you that I made onion soup with sweet onions once and it

was revoltingly sweet. Like trying to eat a big bowl of maple syrup, and I think I remember the same thing happened to someone else here too.

That would probably be me. I didn't even think about it when I used

them and sure won't ever do it again!

 

[angak1]

it was me----way too sweet for us.

 

[angak1]

also, we found the smell of cooking those onions to be overwhelming for such a long time

and I dearly love the smell of onions cooking on the stovetop.

 

[orchid]

nu uh! It was me! ;0)

 

[orchid]

It was over whelming! And they swam in liquid. They didn't

caramelize.

 

[barb_b]

Thanks for the advise... It is no longer on my list! You saved me alot of time and effort.

 

[marilynfl]

I used 4 large onions to 1 Videlia for French Onion soup and the caramelization

worked fine. Julia added sugar during this process, but I left that out. I'd use this ratio again.
