That is wonderful! I didn't fall into my life either; it definitely took some searching, but I'm so happy to be where I am now. On another note, if your fellow gardeners aren't generous with the Egyptian Walking Onion bulbils, I'll happily send some your way to start in the fall, if you like.<br /><br />Michelle: If you're ever interested, I have plenty bulbils to share. You're welcome to them.<br /><br />TGS: Oh no, they need peeling, but it is a slight skin since they're relatively "green" still, and not loaded with layers of papery skin. I like them a lot, and having them has forced me to play with how to use them in the kitchen. They're perennials--that's my favorite of their characteristics.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12607821498331135305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-38141379753589751962011-06-29T20:52:48.960-07:002011-06-29T20:52:48.960-07:00I'm going to scope out these walking onions fo...I'm going to scope out these walking onions for my next onion planting. I was intrigued the first time you mentioned them some months back and now I'm enchanted! The tinge of purple and green on the bulbils... the ease of a pickling onion that doesn't need peeling, only cleaning?! priceless.the good souphttp://www.thegoodsoup.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-88387131262481861662011-06-29T10:18:42.458-07:002011-06-29T10:18:42.458-07:00I've heard of those onions but have discounted...I've heard of those onions but have discounted their culinary value, but now you've set me straight. I might have to give them a try one of theses days. Love the idea of pickling the bulbils.michellehttp://fromseedtotable.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30498647.post-50894532772697344472011-06-28T19:52:04.458-07:002011-06-28T19:52:04.458-07:00Fellow gardeners all around me in our Community Ga...Fellow gardeners all around me in our Community Garden here in DC grow these. I haven’t tried them yet, but after watching them closely this year I kind of fell in love with the process. I think I might try some next year… <br /> <br />And if you don’t mind humoring a personal note – I have been reading and re-reading the stories about your friends in New York. They are such perfect tributes to people who have truly “found their place in life.” I am nearly three months into what might just be my dream job and five months out from marrying my best friend. (Don’t worry; I know to count my blessings.) It’s taken me a long time to get here, with more wrong turns than right, and the reality of it is sort of hard for me to grasp. The descriptions of your friends struck a chord, and made me realize how truly wonderful it is when you finally feel “at home” with yourself. I know I feel good now, and I am starting to understand how my joy can make others feel comfort too. You and your friends have beautiful relationships. Thank you for sharing. <br /> <br />In closing … spot on with the martini idea. Very well done.Carrienoreply@blogger.com
