I am always looking for a way to eat good foods in appropriate portions. And lately, in response to this search, I have employed the Bento Box. These are perfect for bringing to work, and the two boxes I have acquired have wonderful, distinct compartments (five!), inspire the imagination, and seal up a charm. From there it's just a question of what foods to populate the box with.
Today it was onions.
Well, there was some very good goat brie, and some Prosciutto, rye crackers, but ultimately it was all about the onions. In fact, it needed more onions. I had roasted onions, and they were the highlight of the whole box. And I also had pickled onions, which were tangy and a bit spicy. Some fried onions would have been perfect, but I ran out of time or energy in my preparations. Alas.
But boy, I love an onion.
My challenge for the future:
An all onion bento box!
In ten years of writing clerkmanifesto I figured I must have covered my affection for onions before, so, in preparation for this blogpost I looked into my history of 3,700 blog posts.
Sure enough, five years ago, there is this.
"Oh no!" I cried. "I've already used up my Stone Soup story!"
Well I certainly wasn't gonna tell you that ol' Stone Soup story again.
But I wasn't going to let it stop me from talking about onions.
Onions.
Onions, onions, onions!!

If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
