Onion slicing

[Guest guest]

There ARE those times -- like slicing ONE onion, for example -- where it's too

much

trouble to put one into a chopping machine.

So, , I want to try this.

When you say " slice it in half at one end, " do you mean chop the end off? Or

slice the

whole thing through all the way down, so that the parallel lines from each

concentric little

onion on the inside run north and south, instead of one around the other in

progressively

smaller circles?

If you chop it in half lengthwise, as described above, you now have TWO half

onions,

each of which you would then be slicing into horizontally, right?

So now you have quartered your onion, right?

From that point on, I've lost you ! But you know me -- Superditz!

Can we do a " Take Two, in 'Onion Slicing for Dummies'? "

Thanks.
