Hi Virginia, Mark & whomever!! Guess I will have to start saying a 3" diameter onion, cause there is Merkin baseball, Cdn softball(MUCH larger) Lacrosse balls, (much harder) cricket balls(much tougher)etc etc! Or I could just throw up my hands, and say " OH onions!!" or sompin! As for Tiger Woods....he keeps hitting all those poor birdies, there aint gonna be any birdies left to nest in the trees of the golf courses...hope you like that recipe, Virginia, when you try it! Cheers, Doug in BC
