Hi Pam!! I'm here!! I just made the salad again for our Christmas feast-there are pics of the salad on my FaceBook page! The recipe is on my old computer so I just wing it and use all sort of salami, ham, provelone-toss in some raw veggies such as bell pepper, celery and onion for crunch. I only use Barilla tiny bow ties for the pasta-I just like the way they look and they are the perfect size. toss everything together with Jardines Muffeletta Spread and there you have it!! I'll most likely make it next time Amy comes home. Cheers! Susie

If so, how did it go? What were the ages of the plants you grafted? I would like to try.

Glassquilt, that is a really beautiful quilt. Thanks so much for posting. Jennifer, what seems like it would be the hardest part is the positioning of the hexagons into an artistic and pleasing pattern. It will be for me anyway. I do have a piece of the fabric for the backing. I'm glad the person at the quilt shop suggested that. Theresa, I had a little too much time on my hands last winter. It's hard being away from your toys for so long. I hope all these quilts keep me busy. I have to get a knitting project to take too for when I don't feel like taking the ironing board and sewing machine out and putting them back.

Sounds a bit like Tarte Flambee or Flammekueche, albeit thicker and with more onions. I love onions and I'm sure I would like the recipe you made, though personally I never cook with sweet onions even when they are called for in a recipe. IMO they have no flavor at all when cooked, especially when caramelized. It seems counterintuitive that a yellow onion would be sweeter and more flavorful when caramelized than a sweet onion, but that is the case in my experience. Your suggested addition of cheese or spice would definitely help!
