Onion Update

Against all odds of success, I am sad to report I did not complete the Onion Challenge (6 onions in 9 days). In fact I was only able to eat a dismal 3. In my defense I did not share any of my onions, and did not have enough other food to prepare them with. I will try and keep my head up through this monumental failure.

The Onion Challenge

After returning from vacation trips before finals began, I seemed to be at a lack of food. I gathered with my friends for our habitual trek to the local Aldi's down the street. I usually buy mostly the same things, with maybe one new item each trip. I usualy get lettuce and tomates for sandwhiches or sauce. However I wanted a change, and I had been craving onions for some reason. So I substituted a bag of six onions for the lettuce. Then it hit me in the check-out line how little time I have left in Limerick between trips: 8 days from May 6th. Can I really eat 6 entire onions in 8 days? There's no reason not to try, but these first few days have shown me I have to drastically pick up my pace as I have only eaten one in 2 days! I'v thrown them in wraps, ramen noodles, and spaghetti sauce, but I guess I need to step it up. Who knows maybe they make a good snack food?
