Cooking and Computing

Some days I spend hours on my Mac. Between organizing photos, working on my two websites, building my cookbook, reading news and research, I get lost in time sitting in front of my big screen. Experts have warned that prolonged sitting can cause chronic health problems. Making a recipe that requires hours until completion removes the risks of sitting for long periods. This caramelized onion recipe, a family fave, has me up every 15 minutes to stir. It takes almost five hours, but the end result is ahhh-maz-ing! And I'm equally amazed to see a massive pot filled with five pounds of raw onions turn into only two cups of the most flavorful, rich and useful ingredient for pizza, potatoes, pasta, soup, bread etc. Be good to yourself and your dinner guests!
