Fried Onions Without Frying

Do you love sandwiches with fried onions on top but you don't want to actually fry onions? I figured out a trick that will save you the time and the grease. Microwave the onions.

Just cut up the onions and put them on a paper towel and nuke them in the microwave for 90 seconds. Then remove the towel and let them cool. Get two slices of bread - put half the onions on one slice - add a layer of cheese - the roast beef - another layer of cheese - the rest of the onions - and cap it with the other slice of bread. Then pop the sandwich into the microwave and nuke it for about 45 seconds and melt the cheese in good. Let it cool for about a minute and you have a great sandwich.

Technically the onions aren't fried - they are boiled but without being boiled in water. The onion tase is preserved but the raw onion taste is gone. They have the same taste as fried onions but are more consistent and don't have the drippy fluids that you get with frying. It's a healthier sandwich with a better taste.

Who is Dishonest and Dishonorable?

Letter to the Editor

John McCain today called the right wing attack ads on Kerry's war record "dishonest and dishonorable" and urged Bush to condemn it, which Bush would not do. "It was the same kind of deal that was pulled on me," McCain said.

But I don't think McCain has any room to call anyone dishonest and dishonorable. When you think about it - McCain is going to be giving a speech at the Republican convention and he's going to endorse Bush for president, a man who he considers dishonest and dishonorable. It seems to me pretty dishonest and dishonorable to get in front of America and lie to the People and endorse a man you clearly know stands against everything you believe in.

Terrorists Like Bush!

Letter to the Editor

Bush made an amusing statement today that I think many in America agree with. But what he said probably isn't what he meant. "Our enemies," says Bush "are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

Bush is more right than he thinks. Apparently his idea of winning the "war on terror" is to do more damage to this country than the terrorists are doing - and in that frame of reference he is definitely winning. Clearly no terrorist could have done the kind of damage to America that Bush has done in the four years since he stole the election. Sometimes I think the reason that the terrorists haven't attacked again is because they can just sit back and watch Bush destroy America. If I were a terrorist - I wouldn't want to do anything that would interfere with Bush's reelection.

With enenies like Bush - who needs friends?

Another Bush slip of the tounge

"Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we," Bush said. "They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."

Yet Another Orange Alert

Letter to the Editor

Today's Orange Terror Alert is yet another reminder that America is losing the war on terror because we have a president who in incompetent. America is not safer than before we invaded Iraq because we let the real enemy get away and become even stronger. We need a president who's family is not in business with the bin Laden family. A president that cares more about America than the Saudi Royal Family. America needs a regime change.
