Topic: RE: What is your purpose in life?
Joni! You are NOT fat and worthless. You happen to be one of my best friends ever.
You are talented (very), a great writer, non-judgmental, giving (at times to a fault), loving, etc. I remember you helping my Mom decorate for a Christmas open house, cooking dinner for five so that I could impress my parents and aunt and uncle (for no pay), making a beautiful and delicious wedding cake for my son's wedding, I could go on and on.
For your information, Mom just passed through and I stopped her and asked her how she would describe you as a person and she said, "She is very thoughtful and loving, she is very giving . . . like her coming over and helping me decorate for Christmas."
I know at times we just focus on the negative about ourselves, but I love you dearly, old friend, and my life is better for you having been a part of it. There have been times when your kindness and caring towards me has kept me from just giving up. So do not call one of the best people in my life "fat and worthless."

Topic: RE: Vidalia Onions
My parents and I love Vidalia Onions. Here are a couple of casseroles we make with them.
Vidalia and Ritz Casserole
5 vidalia onions, peeled and sliced
1 stick oleo
1/4-cup water
1 package (roll) of Ritz Crackers (crushed)
1-1/2 cup grated extra sharp cheddar cheese
Cook onions in water and oleo until tender. Layer in casserole dish: onions, 3/4-cup cheese, 1/2 roll of crackers. Cover with foil.
Bake in a 350-degree oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil, sprinkle with remaining cheese and crackers. Continue to bake for 10 minutes or until brown.
Vidalia Onion Casserole
Saute onions with 1 stick oleo. Layer onions, parmesan cheese, and Ritz Crackers crumbs. Repeat layers using buttered cracker crumbs on top. Bake at 350 degrees until light brown.
The last recipe is very similar to the first recipe except for the type of cheese used and the use of water.

Topic: RE: Vidalia Onions
I like to make foil dinners....get a huge piece of heavy duty foil and put a ground beef patty, onion slices, potato slices and every veggie that will fit in it, dot with some butter and close it up and bake it for about an hour.
My sister has some kind of gadget that you can put an onion in and it makes those bloomin' onions. I haven't seen it, but my dad was talking about it one day like it was some wonderous thing my sister has, but I can't ever remember to ask her what it is she has.
I love squash baked in the oven with butter in those foil dinners.
Paul Deen on the Food Channel says butter makes her complexion pretty.
She's so funny. After WLS, I'm going to have to stop watching her show because she always does those wonderful Southern dishes. And I didn't get to the shape I'm in right now eating Asian dishes.
Love,
Joni
