Onions are the linchpin for a smoothly operating dinnertime machine in my house. Not only do I use them in most of my cooking, but as long as I have a few onions in the cupboard, I know there are at least five different quick and easy meals that I can make in a heartbeat if other dinner plans fall through. Without them, I feel lost and alone and afraid.
Which is exactly where I found myself a few weeks ago after forgetting to replenish my onion stash on the weekly shopping trip — it was bad luck and bad timing with an especially busy work week. What happened next was a lesson in patience, flexibility, and most of all, getting out of my comfort zone.
