Abstract

A friend mentioned she was making creamed onions for Thanksgiving dinner. The memory flashed in my mind, "Santa's reindeers never catch a cold because they eat creamed onions," my dad told us at the dinner table. He passed the warm bowl in my direction. I passed it to my Gran. The soupy mixture with floating eyeball-sized onions didn't appeal to me in the least. "I'd rather catch a cold," I told him.
