A man has to re-apply things that he has learned.  I was slicing an onion for supper tonight and I realized that I was reverse roll quarterslicing the onion.  Once the onion was halved down from the top through the root end, the cuts were perfectly radial from the outside of the onion to the center, like quartersawing a board.  I realized that I was turning the onion after every slice just a tad to get that perfect center cut.  This makes it easy to break the slices into individual pieces that are long and thin.

I usually cut my onions into cookies, then rip them down the middle.

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

This is just so funny.  :)  I guess I've been quarterslicing my whole life.

When I was growing up, my Grandmother served quartersliced raw onions on the side with Chicken Pot Pie, and also with cooked green beans.  Oh!  It was so good.  To this day I can't eat those two items without quartersliced raw onion.

I had some quartersliced onion in a salad for supper.

Aromatic red onions would look nice quarter sliced.
