time in the kitchen..

....is one of the happiest time for me. I love the feeling of making something and although food is not my specialty when I prefer baking, I love the process of starting something from scratch and seeing the end product when finished. Last night I made a delicious dinner for us. I made Vadalia onion pie + a salad with caramelized walnuts and blue cheese dressing. I love Vadalia onion. So sweet. So tasty.

The onions were first grown near Vidalia, Georgia, in the early 1930s. It is an unusually sweet variety of onion, due to the low amount of sulfur in the soil in which the onions are grown. Mose Coleman is considered the person who discovered the sweet Vidalia Onion variety in 1931.

Georgia's state legislature passed the "Vidalia Onion Act of 1986" which authorized a trademark for "Vidalia Onions" and limits the production area to Georgia or any subset as defined by the state's Commissioner of Agriculture.
