My favorite way to caramelize a ton of onions is in the slow cooker. I often do it overnight.

Recipe for caramelized onions: Halve and slice 8 onions 1/4 inch thick. Microwave onions with 1 tbsp butter and 2 tsp salt in bowl, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 15 minutes. Drain onions and transfer to slow cooker. Stir 3 tbsp brown sugar, remaining 2 tbsp butter and 1/2 tsp pepper into slow cooker. Cover and cook until onions are deep golden brown, 8 to 10 hours on high. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Onions can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to one week (lies, they keep much longer than that and can also be frozen).

I made @smittenkitchen.bsky.social sweet potato tacos for dinner and this picture does not include the other two I ate. Burlap and Barrel Hatch green chile powder on the potatoes and ATK refried black beans, plus queso? Perfect.

I walked into a dealership to do a test drive after Carmax failed to charge the used electric Subaru I was interested in. They offered me a good price on a new one, with a 0% loan, and no one asked if I needed to talk to my husband. I'd never bought a new car before, but it was pretty much ideal.

I just had an enormous, incredibly messy sandwich for dinner: garden tomato on perfect sourdough bread (a lady in the neighborhood bakes it), with Kewpie mayo, fried halloumi, basil from the front porch, and balsamic reduction. Tomato juice was dripping down my arm and it was an A+ summer experience

The last paragraph of that article is why I decided not to date anymore and have a kid on my own.

"Where is the pool of men who are self-sufficient and like to read, are willing to go to therapy and are not afraid of a woman who has a passport? That sounds really wild to say out loud, but I don't feel like I'm missing a ton by choosing to read a book instead of swiping on Hinge."
