malnpudl at 04:15pm on 10/08/2013Why do people everywhere insist on ruining perfectly lovely salads by putting raw onions in them?
Yesterday I brought home a vegetarian (vegan?) "all the proteins salad" sort of thing from the natural foods store deli counter -- soybeans, wheat berries, tofu, sundry herbs & veggies, some sort of light creamy-ish dressing -- which on the whole was reasonably tasty and healthy and I'd like to buy it again... except that they put green onions in it. Not nice big pieces I could eat around, but little chiffonade bits that are so inextricably interwoven with everything else, there's no getting past them. Now I get to spend the rest of the day with that unlovely raw onion aftertaste. Bleah. And I still have another couple of servings of the stuff, which is an investment I'd rather not waste. Bother.
Raw onions: Yum or yuck? Discuss.
On other fronts: I've been working incredibly hard at not thinking about the fact that I lost a completed big bang podfic and all of the interim work files, plus my completed Summer of Giles podfic (15K words), ( a couple of weeks ago in a hard drive crash. )
Update on my brother: He's okay. He has a new phone number that neither I nor his other relatives knew about yet. So it's all right... this time, anyway. *digits crossed* Thanks to everyone for your concern and support. That was a rough interlude, waiting to find out.
