HOMEMADE ONION RINGS from A Garden of Blessings,

 http://agardenofblessings.blogspot.com/2008/04/homemade-french-fried-onions.html

 Thinly slice up some sweet onions, as thin as you can.

Soak the onion pieces in milk for 5-10 minutes or so.

Dredge them in some flour (seasoned with salt and pepper), then fry in the oil of your choice.

They cook very quickly, so keep watch.

Pull them out and drain on a paper towel.

“Santa Fe Soup”

16 oz. can red beans

16 oz. can black beans

16 oz. can corn

1 large onion chopped

1 lb. of ground round

1 pkg. taco seasoning

1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix

1 can Rotel tomatoes with chilies

1 can diced tomatoes

Cook ground beef and onion. Stir in taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix. Add remaining ingredients and heat through.

Braised Red Radishes

20 plump radishes
1 to 2 T. butter
1 shallot, diced
1 t. chopped fresh thyme or several pinches dried*
salt and freshly milled pepper

Trim the leaves from the radishes, leaving a bit of the green stems, and scrub them. If the leavs are tender and in good condition, wash them and set aside. Leave smaller radishes whole and halve or quarter larger ones.

Melt 2 to 3 teaspoons butter in a small saute pan. (The radishes should cover most of the bottom of the pan.) Add the shallot and thyme and cook for 1 minute over medium heat. Add the radishes, a little salt and pepper, and water just to cover. Simmer til radishes are tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the leaves if using and cook until they’re wilted and tender, 1 minute more. Remove the radishes to a serving dish. Boil the liquid, adding a teaspoon or two more butter if you like, until only about 1/4 c. remains. Pour it over the radishes and serve.

Whisk together lemon juice, fresh black pepper and enough honey just to sweeten, then whisk while adding olive oil. Then taste you may want to add a little more lemon juice or you just might like more honey if you have a sweet tooth.
