Y3 Day 226, The No Cry Onion

A 2-fer "Temp/Spare" for August Scavenger Challenge

14. Think of someone (living or dead) whom you admire but have not met in real life. Without using an image of that person as a major prop, create a photograph which relates to them and why you hold them in esteem.

and

20-23 (or 25). Your mission for August is to create a series of FOUR TO SIX (4-6) instructional photographs, a "how-to" explanation of the steps involved in a skill. The subject matter must be covered in a thorough manner so that someone unacquainted with the technique could learn the process from the images.

 

Graham Kerr is a New Zealander who moved to the States (Pacific North West) back in the 1980's and had a cooking show that ran for many years that was aimed at reducing the amount of 'fat intake', while boosting 'colour and flavour'.

His technique for cutting onions was inspirational in getting me into cooking !

It really does work - try it :-}

1/ Pull off any already-loose-bits

2/ Holding the root end cut off the other end

3/ stand on cut end and divide in 2

4/ Peel as many layers as required

5/ Holding carefully with finger tips make 'long ways' cuts

6/ Turn onion 90 degrees and make 'side ways' cuts.

 

The aim is to have pieces as small as a grain of rice (and all fingers intact !!)
