hey - we tried the green onion trick and it works like a charm - they’re just sitting in a jar on the window sill growing away until I need them next time - thanks for the tip!

I had to come back to this post and let you know that I’ve shown the green onion tip to all of my friends and family and we think it’s the coolest thing ever. They re-grow so fast! Inches in a day! We love it.

Same as KB. I didn’t know about green onions regrowing in water. To think of the number of green onions that wasted away in the fridge
Well, no more! Thanks for the tips!

Hi! Found your blog through the Pioneer Woman’s blog. I am so intrigued by the info you shared about green onions! That is so cool! I love green onions, but when I buy them they always end up going bad in the fridge. Thank you so much for sharing! Also, I love that you use the line- You know what I mean, Vern?

Am loving the tips! I just out of desperation learned how to make Creme Fraiche myself as I can never find it in my city. IT’s super easy and inexpensive! http://dishinanddishes.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/when-you-cant-find-creme-fraiche-make-it-yourself/

The green onion tip is the most awesome thing I’ve seen in a LONG time! I always hate buying green onions because I end up throwing half of them away…now I don’t have to…you’re too cool for school! LOL

Awesome post! I have a friend who actually replants her green onions when she brings them home from the store. They spread and continue growing and when they start to get low or she uses them up she buys more and starts again. Great tips! My culinary daughter will love them!

A. I love your ideas - practical and inventive! I never knew about vinegar and green onions. Thanks!
B. Spice House rocks! I adore going in and drooling over their amazing spices, rubs and extracts. Also, their online ordering is a breeze when I’m not in Old Town.
C. Your blog is cool.
