When life gives you onions . . .

We were given a box of onions yesterday. They were nice, firm ones. Ours are keeping okay, but it's hit and miss whether they will last for long over the winter. 

This morning I decided to make a pot of French onion soup. It took a while, but it was delicious! Watching a huge pan of chopped onions melt down to a golden layer of creaminess was amazing. It's like seeing a huge pan of spinach wilt down.
 
Orders for hats are coming thick and fast so I spent the afternoon knitting and listening to the radio, once I'd managed to tire Lottie out with a brisk walk!
