One of the things I love about Walla Walla are the onions! I know what you're thinking: Carolyn, you love onions? The answer is yes. Yes, I love onions.

But these aren't just any onions that I love. I love Walla Walla Sweet Onions. <!--more-->These onions are special. They're sweet. They're bigger than the average onion--the best ones are softball size. And when you cut them, they don't make your eyes water nor are they spicy when you eat them raw. These are amazing onions.

I haven't always loved them. I mean what kid admits to loving onions? But now they taste like summer in Walla Walla to me.

On top of being tasty. The onions are also pretty cool. Apparently they are sweet because of the variety, the soil in Walla Walla and the high water content (which is why I think they're so big).  There's a little bit more information on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_onion">wikipedia </a>but I don't think it's the most helpful entry eve. I'd think about editing it to make it better but I don't actually know that much about sweet onions. Except that I like them.

Some people say that you can eat sweet onions like an apple. But that's not my thing.
