Your Moment of Apocalypse - Pure Sloth
A single onion costs pennies, but the chopped remains of about one (also available in red!) will run you $1.99 at your local “overpriced organic ego-chow mart.” This was spotted at the Henry’s in San Pedro, an upscale market that always seems light on customers. I have nothing to add other than that I’m no longer shocked by the downward spiral of self-reliance in this society. Oh, and I guess I raise a tiny, tear filled glass to the opportunistic bastards at Gill’s Onions for separating the lazy from their undeserved shekels.
FYI - if you’re the kind of person who buys this stuff, after the apocalypse, you’re first into my over-sized cooking pot, future long pig. Lazy, desk jockeys with health care, don’t work with their hands, organically fed humans are the tender, well marbled Kobe beef of the desolate future.

Ha, I thought the pre-weenie filled hot dog buns was bad enough, but this is just stupid. First, the onions aren’t going to keep very long. Second, what if you want a different size cut for the particular dish you’re making? These people should just get feeding tubes and be done with it.

I imagine the onions are in a nitrogen environment to prevent decay, but that’s no excuse.

Welcome back from KCMO; hope you got some good que during your visit. I’m unfamiliar with Henry’s, San Pedro being more “down and dirty” than “upscale” anyway.
Saw your smiling, apple-filled cheeks on Peggy Archer’s blog. Ain’t she great?

Oh, we got the BBQ on. Lots of photos of that coming.
Henry’s is pretty much a Whole Foods analog, although it’s smaller and has less selection.
What was I doing over at Peggy’s place? I peeked over, but I didn’t see what you’re talking about.

The Kobe beef of long pig! LOL!
Seen Urinetown yet?

I don’t really see myself seeing Urinetown. I’m not really a theatre guy.

But it’s after the environmental apocalypse- totally up your alley.
