[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recipes that call for half an onion. What the heck am I supposed to do with the other half of the onion? It dries up in the fridge. And is it half a large onion or medium onion or small onion? [/quote] I, too, am frustrated with onion “quantities” and have settled on 1 onion = 3/4-1 c chopped onion (we like onion!). As for the other half, chop it up and freeze it. Works well for most subsequent uses except raw. Same goes for bell pepper. Another pet peeve is recipes passed off as their own when they’re really [i]America’s Test Kitchen[/i], sometimes with not even a small/subtle adjustment. A finally one for allergy families — just substituting a [allergen]-free substitute for the thing you can’t eat. Well, duh! While they’ve gotten better in the last few years, most cow’s milk-free things are utter trash and GF stuff is often just a step above cardboard.[/quote]
