Can you explain the lifecycle of an onion?
Looking for some #kitchentips! I've just learned that onions don't last forever (I knew that, but this is still surprising). I was away from home for ~10 days, so my onions weren't given the usual ...

My brother, who is a farmer, keeps his eggs unrefrigerated and unwashed up to 2 week but that makes me nervous. I usually refrigerated them even unwashed as soon as I get them from the hen. More:...
