So it's late spring and there are onions-a-plenty around middle Georgia. And as with every year, our office has a 40 pound sack of onions and everyone is welcome to take what they want.

Being that there are few cooks in this office, me and one other guy end up getting most of them.

So... does anyone have any good onion dish recipes? Please share-

I have a Vidalia Onion Casserole recipe that I'll be posting later once I'm close to my cookbook.

I like to just wrap them in aluminum foil with some butter and salt and pepper throw on the charcoal grill. And wow how yummy.

I do this when ever I'm grilling and have a good, sweet onion on hand... Core the onion, place in tin foil pouch then pour in a 1/2 cup or so of Worcestershire sauce. Then put about two tablespoons of butter or margarine on top and seal the foil. I usually put the sealed pouch on the grill soon after lighting it- the onion seems to take longer than anything else to cook through.

The cucumber slices reminded me- ever grill a cucumber slice? It's really pretty darn good. Just add a little salt and (if you like) pepper.

I made cucumber salad yesterday, has to sit for 24 hours

@dial1911 more onion ideas?

I found a grilled onion burger (Oklahoma favorite I guess) but haven't tried it yet. Been working a lot this week to get on top of things. Also went to the doctor today because apparently this 'little sinus infection' decided to become much, much worse. But I'll still be at work tomorrow.

Made carnitas last weekend and the tacos have been great- but now I'm about sick of pork and have 1.5 pounds left to eat. Or freeze I guess.
