  1. These are so easy to make and are delicious in a salad! I think they would be good sprinkled on a lot of veggie dishes as well. Thanks skwattink aynjull!
     
  2. I was out of my regular crispy onion flakes and spotted your recipe - Very easy to make - the trick is to wait til they brown but not any further. I used a mixture of shallots & red onion - only had 1/4" oil on the pan but I only made a small amount Thanks skwattink aynjull
     
  3. Great to have these on hand. I used to buy them in a packet when in Malaysia. They were just great on my bean sprout stir fry. Thanks for reminding me about these onions.

"Leave me alone I'm a twentysomething," thus sings Jamie Cullum. I guess that song kind of describes how I'm feeling about life right now. Currently taking a break off college in order to lay the foundations and build the family business. I'm a low profile beauty & wellness consultant associated with a world-class supplier. I enjoy the boisterous laughter of a crowd of friends or a heart-to-heart with people I love, great books, massages at the spa, gourmet coffee (although I mostly stick to Americano these days), jazz radio, rock concerts, wrestling in the swimming pool with my buddies, camping trips/retreats away from the big city, and impressing people with the secret cooking talent that i have. I also enjoy casual salsa or otherwise dancing with a partner (only good males, please).
