Onions go well with Norwegian Bland chopped real fine they produce a different, sweeter flavour than when cut coarse. Salt and rinse with cold water to get rid of strong flavour. Cooked, most become sweet and wonderful to even the most sensitive palate.

Here's another weird recipe of my own invention:

Make egg-biscuit dough, a little on the sloppy side (scratch or Bisquick, either works)

Chop up a whole red onion. mix well into the dough

Spread in liberally-buttered pie plate, top with more butter

Bake (or microwave) until biscuit dough is done
(If you microwave, needs to be turned out of the pan and left upsidedown before it begins to cool, or it will stick something awful)

Serve hot or cold with LOTS of butter

Surprise -- the red onion has turned bright green!!

Now I am going to have to try that!
Btw is is hailing to beat the band.
Hope the farmers will be ok.

Onion pie started as the food of last resort -- only things in the house were Bisquick, butter, eggs, and a red onion. Sounded weird, looked strange, tasted very fine!

BTW you may notice it doesn't matter how much biscuit dough you make... I make "a bowlful" (a short two cups or so of dry mix) but more or less as desired or per how much onion you want.. I want lots in every bite.

Where are they in the wheat harvest this year? Hate to see hail come along at the wrong time!! It can really destroy a crop. Hope everyone can still afford hail insurance.

wheat and peas
lack of rain and the hoppers were already a problem.

Another weird recipe of my own invention:

Gut, er, split and clean seeds out of one very large zucchini

Fry up about half a pound of your fave sausage, mix with a can of cream of mushroom soup, and optionally add more mushrooms, onions, green peppers, chopped tomatoes, or what-have-you

Fill the hollowed-out zucchini with sausage mix

Bake at 300 to 350 degrees until zucchini is cooked and fork-tender

Looks like a cat barfed in your oven. Tastes wonderful!

You grow peas there??!

Got any pics of the wheatfields right now?

Dang, hope the harvest comes in good...

I'm never going to see a combine again without laughing... "So you've got a $60,000 car. We have quarter-million-dollar combines we drive two weeks a year."

Yes, that is one of my favorites also!
I was going out this weekend and shoot some, it is only up a few inches. The best photos are in late Aug/ early Sept. Let me look in my album.

Just a few inches??

I remember years when harvest was done by mid-July... ??!

One of the purtiest sights in the world is a rolling wheatfield just before harvest!

Happy 4th all! I hope we all get through without any fires started This morning (while it's still cooler out) I've got to make Bannana bread and a Upside-down Apple pie for our bbq tonight. I kinda wish I was going to Eddie DeBartolo's party (former owner of the S.F. 49'rs) as he always has a huge one. 3-4 years ago Journey was the band and I think it was Kool and the Gang last year ending with a huge fireworks display. If anyone's around Glacier airport tonight you'll have prime seating for the show!
Next week is the start of our hardwood floor install, oh boy I can't wait...
Have a good day y'all!
