Jerry's State Of The Onion Address:

Onions are pleasing to hold in your hands. They have a delicate, paper thin outer skin, and a silky smooth inner skin with a diaphanous film separating the two. Onions bring zest to the blandest of foods, are easy to raise and extremely inexpensive. They are the food of Kings, yet available to the poorest of paupers.
But like most thin-skinned organisms, they cry easily when cut or bruised. Or more accurately, they make the beholder cry. Now it may be true that people who allow an onion to make them cry are not tough-skinned enough. Probably the kind of people who are hurt by vile insults on the internet.

Here around the kitchen table, let us hope that the only tears that are shed are because of onions. Let the wolves howl outside the door, or rant incessantly.

This is a good place to be.

Jerry
