Onions

'Need onions for Windmills ;-)

Onoins and garlic....goes with feta and tomatoes ;-)

The photo was made by me. The composition of the union, garlic and fork was done by Litsa Spathi. Actually lateron used for preparing a wonderfull meal.

But where are all those onions? They committed suicide by hanging!

A sliced piece of onion a day

Keeps the sniff of the (cold catching) nose away.

Beautiful scraperboard drawing by Drago Pečenica, titled 'Studie van uien' = 'Study of onions'.

Beautifully fine art work by Drago Pecenica!

Fun onions from Morocco, Eva!

It's the "Onion-Union" here :-)

(onions with...CHEESE!)

@MomKAt, in fact these are Spanish onions. I sent them to Heleen de Vaan long time ago. I LOVE this VQR, she shows a nice tongue!

Sent some time ago to Heleen de Vaan: http://mailadventures.blogspot.com/2012/01/out-67.html

Again thank you, Eva, for that Onion!!! (and of course Danke schön, Richard, for sending that Onion to Eva!).

Guess what - when I think of Eva, I think of cheese. And did you know what was our easy dinner tonight? Slices of bread together with slices of cheese (er, no cow cheese) and pieces of watermelon and slices of... Onion! Especially the fine taste of Onion 'did it'. Yummy!

No cow cheese? :(

Doing ONION ART...

lots and lots... ("Don't cry for me....")

For IUOMA celebrations?

Staying Cool BLUE, Angie :-)

Waiting to welcome member #3000 to the ONION...

er, I mean the UNION :-)

Beautiful and inspiring 'welcome', Katerina!

Only 2 left!

However I'm in doubt about the '3000th' member... Shouldn't we subtract the double and triple registered members (e.g. Ruud / RJ, John D / John D / John Dee, and who knows how many more?)?

Anyhow, to any young onion member: Welcome!

Well...3000 registered member's pages?

Several have two pages because they can no longer fit 

more photos or comments on one ol' page ...hahaha!

And there are all the members who used to be active here...and left :-(

Well #3000 will be special...

Received your great Onion Art and I love it! Thank you very much, ευχαριστώ Katerina!

Yay! Happy to see the "onions" arriving...don't shed any tears :-)

Besides ONION ART...I also sent to Ryosuke:

ah..a story of purple onions in Istanbul in 1970...

ONION ART FOR THE BLUE BLOCKHEAD

From Vizma in Australia...where onions fly?

'UIEN', means ONIONS in Dutch (singular, lower-case: ui). Not to be confused with 'UILEN' (singular, lower-case: uil), which means OWLS in Dutch.

Onion Soup to Ryosuke..... What a great idea, Katerina! 

Onion Painting or painting with a onion, not sure what I'm doing :)

Hi! Carina sent me some mail and told me I had to join Onions, so here I am. I'm not sure what happens here, but I very slowly fried lots of onions in a pan of chicken and bacon fat, and it is the most beauuuuuuutiful thing to have in the fridge to add to meals. Some of my friends, who are Hare Krishnas, aren't allowed to eat onions or garlic.  In Latvian onions are called sipoli.

In Greece we call 'em "kremidi"

(as stated earlier here...maybe a few years ago?)

Anyway, fun what Carina is "painting-with-onions"!

Hi Vizma...yep, you belong here with your "onion Flied" :-)

Ha, thanks Kat! I wonder if Carina 'flied' her onion after the painting was done??

Welcome Vizma, so glad to see you here! Hi Kat! Latvian onions are very close to the Finnish: sipuli! In Swedish: lök. The Onion Painting is about learning to trust the process, stick with the process? Don't know if it helped, later I throwed the painted onion into the woods :)

I've received this work from a non-IUOMA member, Alicia (and her children). I think it fits in the VQR Postal Project and in this group as well:

Yes..."Light" French onion cheese! Yummy!

Onion mail art has arrived in Greece from Heleen and Carina:

Onion envelope from Heleen:

and onion rubber stampings too.

Inside, a fantastic "net" with beautiful watercolor  onions!

Carina...has onion-on-the- brain:

Wonderful fun! Thank you both :-)

Nice snail stamp! Hmm, snails and onion??

And Carina, that's so weird, loki in Latvian means chives, or the green shoots that grow out of the onion! We may be able to understand each other in our native tongues!!

ONION snail mail blogged here:
