You could always can caramelized onions. http://www.littlehouseliving.com/canning-caramelized-onions.html I also understand onion/bacon marmalade is awesome. Or chop and freeze for later use.

OH... I love that one, I'd forgotten all about it.
I started playing the organ in 1957 when I was 5, and my first song was Mary Had A Little Lamb. But I remember belting out "Jesus Loves Me" in Sunday school. But I'll bet Gene Autrey's "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer" had to be in there somewhere, too. Good Memories! Thanks Mikey!
And... I can only imagine what the neighbors, who have full view of my backyard, must be thinking when they see me running around, reaching down, getting back up and running again. They can't see the ground, so they can't see the chickens, they can just see me. I'm sure they probably think I've completely gone bonkers with my new exercise routine.
All I can do is reassure you is that yes you can homeschool your children from a coma. DH and I succeeded in getting both kids through the first couple of years of college. One even graduated. I still am not certain how we managed to succeed some days. It does help too not school at home, rather than true homeschool. I think Seattle would be a little easier if it was warmer. I'm native, so the grey thing doesn't bother me so much, but the cold is just plain icky anymore. I can say this while sitting here with a space heater going full blast underneath my chair as I type.Ok, I just gotta vent to some of my fellow washingtonians. Is it just me or did the sun NEVER come up today???? I swear it was dusk all day! I couldn't figure out why my chickens wanted to go out so badly when all I wanted to do was hibernate. Its tough to homeschool your kids from a coma! I am desperately praying for an early summer. I am so jealous of people in warmer areas or with bigger barns who are hatching already. I want me some peeps! And I need the sunshine for that so come on spring. Let's get on with it!!!!
(yes I do realize that I live in the Seattle area and spring won't actually be here for another 5 months but seriously, today was ugly!)
Thank you for letting me vent. I feel better now.
I seem to remember reading on one of the National Silkie web sites, that the only way to tell a Silkie cockerel from a Silkie pullet is when it either lays an egg or it crows. So far this has been pretty much the only way I have known one way or the other for sure.
Not to mention that the only way to catch a naughty chicken is with fishing gear. So I bought a fishing net, and the clerk asks me what kind of fish would be fishing for. I looked him in the eye a told him "Chicken".You can tell I am still a city gal! Got my wrangles and my rustles all mixed up
And they particularly like really old chickens too, that can stand up to the long stewing that some of their food takes.
Ethiopian food uses a TON of onions~ You can easily use 8 large onions in one dish.
