I have been looking forward to the new crop of onions and got some the other
day at Central Market. I only bought a few because many didn't look too
nice and they seemed smaller than usual. I used them for the pierogies and
no complaints there. I sautéed some with a hamburger patty for myself and I
just didn't care for them much. They were edible but something didn't seem
right. I suppose it is possible that what I bought was really something
else because they had three kinds of sweet onions featured all next to each
other. I think the other two were Vidalia and one just said Spanish Sweet.

These just didn't seem to have much flavor at all though. I mean my eyes
could tell that they were onions but they didn't have that yummy sweet
flavor that I look forward to nor even much of an onion flavor! I know that
the one year I tried to grow them we had freak hot weather early on and they
bolted. So I pulled them up and used them in a potato dish for Easter which
is darned early. The bulbs were small and I had to use all of them because
it was a big pan of potatoes. But those tasted really good. I just wonder
if our lack of rain and much more hot/warmish weather could be affecting the
crop? If so, I'm sad. I love onions and those are a favorite.
