Why has this art-form escaped my notice for so long?!
I love the fluidity of the medium and how closely it relies on good drawing skills. It's almost like drawing but with a solid 3d pencil in 3d space. The most challenging ones are perhaps done with a single roll of wire seamlessly flowing into forms and shapes. It's almost origami but with wire... Fascinating!
But this one?
BIG OUCH!

Easiest way to Caramelize OnionsCategory: eating in
If you don't have much time to stand around stirring the onions and want to caramelize onions perfectly with the least amount of work...
3 minutes prep:
1. Peel and chop red onions lengthwise. Turn the chopping board and chop the lengthwise chopped onions into three.
2. Toss in olive oil, salt and spices
40 minutes cooking time (unattended).
3. Spread on a stainless-steel cookie sheet in an even uniform layer. Roast at 375 deg F for 40 minutes.
Perfectly caramelized onions ready to go into whatever you are cooking... or maybe even as a fun dinner with a little lime juice and chopped apples.
---
PS: The method doesn't work so well without
a) salt (because then, the onions become very dry and may burn/char instead of caramelizing).
b) stainless-steel cookie sheets. The non-stick varieties are just awfully non-uniform when it comes to heat conductance. I have always had partially charred results with those.

Everyone liked it so much. It was WAAAAAAY better than traditional caramelized onions! :)))) Thinking of making this every week now. The only drawback is the flat smells like caramelized onions a complete DAY after I made them...

That sounds way easier than the on the stove method.

Some more e:strip decisions...Category: e:strip
A while back, I wrote about how I was under-utilizing (e:strip). (e:tinypliny,54394). I am constantly making notes all over the internet and it becomes so crazy to keep track of everything. So I have decided never to log out of here and make all those notes here (except work) - which is still at citeulike.
I can't transfer all work here because then (e:strip) would also have to be my reference manager and store my million pdfs... Yeah, not very practical.
The thing is the search function of (e:strip) sometimes does not play well with my blogs. I don't know what to do about that. My one big request/feature-suggestion for (e:strip) would be to make search results somehow more accessible and context-sensitive along with the ability to use more search-modifiers... maybe.
And while we are on the subject of search, one more suggestion would be to turn up blog-numbers, or cite-able referral links along with the blog titles and excerpts in the search results. For example
Cross-referencing would become so much easier. Currently, I hover my mouse over every post to find out the number and then string it to the name of the (e:peep) who wrote it. Makes for a longer workflow.

Hey isn't there some Echo Art thing at the Central Terminal...HA
Reason you never noticed this art form is cause it isn't Art...HA kidding
I know its not "real" but someday when you are not as busy you should try 3d modeling on a computer. I think you would like it.
heheh... I am back to my tasklist. :)
Sounds like someone is procrastinating.
