Alton Brown did a whole "Good Eats" episode on onions (If you've
never caught this show on FoodTV, it's HIGHLY recommended!  I also
highly recommend his recent book, "I'm just here for the food".  Alton
Brown is my Hero.  Well, him, Screwy Squirrel, and Wile E. Coyote, and Harold
McGee.  But I digress again...)

He did this "panty hose" trick on the show as well.  The bunches of
panty-hose-wrapped onions all hanging from the cieling of a pantry
was pretty amusing...


Signed,
El Hermoso Dormido, who for some reason thought that they would have looked
nifty with lights strung on them as well.  (Yes, I agree, that IS a strange
thing to think, but I thunk it anyway...)
