Preserving Floyd: How Do You Solve A Problem Like Vidalia

I think it was a fundraiser but maybe not.  All I know was I got offered a 25 pound bag of  genuine sweet Vidalia onions straight from the farm in Vidalia, Georgia.  Not Vidalia-type onions but the real thing.  I've never had them before and often wondered about all the fuss but yes, Vidalia onions really are special.

They are really perishable too.  These are not your storage variety onion.  These are eat 'em  now onions!  But 25 pounds?  Oh yeah, that would've been some onion ring binge but it would've killed us so here's what happened instead.
