I got a bit less than i wanted, but i'd rather lose a few thousand virtual dollars now than the whole deal when the uk market takes a dive and no-one can afford to buy because of interet rates....
lets hope it goes through....

SS has the onions in the veggie isle. I bet you could get the same thing else where and they are white skinned too.

I hope this means we get loads of lovely tourists over here.
Probably won't, though.

Stop and Shop sell onions in water in a jar. We buy them, drain water off then fill with heinz white vinegar. Place in the fridge for 24 to 48 hours and eat. For just over a dollar a jar + vinegar, it is pretty close to the real thing.
