    I think I need a support group.

    Specifically, a Caramelized Onions support group. I could eat caramelized onions by the spoonful. I love the way they taste. I love the way they make my house smell when they are caramelizing. And I love the way they make mashed potatoes taste better.

    I will be taking these to our Thanksgiving feast. Rest assured.
