      Thank you Clearissa for the kind review. Isn’t it sad that as we age some of the things we love the most we can no longer do? My favorite foods are now off limits. I won’t even try to name them. But onions are one of them. I lover liver and can remember those days when using a stick of butter as I sautéed an entire Valdalia onion wasn’t known to be bad. I could eat the entire pan! Those were the good old days. LOL. Enjoy your 4th!
