PC... where are these lakes? Did I miss where they are?
Oh! And by the way.. beer onions are the bomb.
I usualy slice the onion into rings, throw into a frying pan with a bit of olive oil. After a little bit when theyve started to soften add some beer and cook to just before carmelizing, or if you prefer just to before they get completely soft and are still a little crunchy.
They are awesome on burgers, steaks, and throwing them in with kebabs after they are cooked on teh bbq.
