“Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.” ― Carl Sandburg
“It doesn’t matter how precisely the onion is cut as long as the person chewing it is happy.” ― Padma Lakshmi
“What I say is that, if a fellow really likes potatoes, he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow.” – A. A. Milne
“Zen does not confuse spirituality with thinking about God while one is peeling potatoes. Zen spirituality is just to peel the potatoes.” ― Alan Watts
“It is easy to think of potatoes, and fortunately for men who have not much money it is easy to think of them with a certain safety. Potatoes are one of the last things to disappear, in times of war, which is probably why they should not be forgotten in times of peace.” ― M.F.K. Fisher, How to Cook a Wolf
Lovely clicks! I love hues of brown.
Cheers,

Thank you Rosa!
Stunning photography nancy!! Just beautiful 🙂
Thanks Nandita!
I love this post and the words of Carl Sandburg. Fun idea and lots of recipes. Sorry I haven’t been by much. I’m still trying to catch up since being sick over the holidays
Thank you Vicki! I hope you are feeling better.
I love all of the quotes! I was telling someone the other day, that I love hand kneading bread because it’s very Zenlike. When you love to cook and bake, I think there are many things that are Zenlike. 🙂 No one has made a bowl of onions look SO good! Thanks for the shoutout Darlin! Hope you’re having a great week!
I also think cooking is very Zenlike, maybe that’s why I love it so much. Thanks sweetie! You too have a great week.
Lovely post. Love the photos as always–and the quotes were fun!
Thank you Victoria!
Beautiful photos!
Thanks Laura!
Very cute quotes and lovely photos, of course!
Thank you Suzanne!
Gorgeous lighting, styling and tones! A great selection of comforting recipes 🙂
🙂 ! Oh dear – reading AA Milne and Alan Watts’ marvellous quotes I am really behind the eight-ball not having eaten potatoes for some three decades!! Wonder whether double the amount of onios others eat will half-way make up for that omission 😀 ?
Love the lighting in your photos!

This is the first time visiting your site. I’m impressed. Before checking out your work, I was very engaged with your site. Excellent main page. Your photography is very engaging. I was hoping if you ever find a few moments of free time maybe you could give my site a quick look and give me your impressions?! Thank you for work, pictures, and site. Good read.
You make even onions and potatoes look eloquent. 🙂
You make the onions and potatoes come alive Nancy!!! Thanks so much for mentioning my recipes. I am thrilled to bits 🙂
Thank you Nandita, it was my pleasure!
