    Well, I don't think I've ever talked to an onion named Betty but I've definitely talked to a few other inanimate objects. Welcome to the Stew. I'm going to have a bigger garden soon. Hope I can manage it. dooley

    If Betty the onion belongs anywhere it is in a stew, especially a garden stew. I see nothing wrong with a vegetive friendship. I once had a friend who took his watermelon for a walk every day. You soon learn to ignore the snide comments and will be a better person for it. Onions can make you weep though.

    I really need to ask betty if she would please give me my credit card back. i don't mind her doing a little shopping if it makes her happy, but she seems to have a penchant for expensive shoes lately...

    betty looks fetching in those shoes. She'd look even more appealing in an onion gratin.

    Hello and welcome El and Betty, from the very chilly Norwegian Arctic. Yep it sounds like you and Betty fit right in here.

    If Betty wants to chill so bad send her here, bet she runs home to you real fast in her new shoes!

    Hi and welcome from Louisiana. Betty needs to come to Louisiana and be introduced to good ol' Louisiana cooking. She would get along with the crawfish. :smt002

    Hello from Michigan, el tonyo! I scrolled from page 1. right to the bottom of page 2. and it sure seems to me that Betty has added a layer of two. Also a few more "Supple limbs". Am I right? She was just a wee slip of a thing when she came out of the closet, so you may be letting her hit the bottle a bit too often.
    Great pictures and dialogue.
