  Beet the Devil (2011)

  > x onions (@ Garden)

  • [if first time:] The demons tore up the earth here right improperly, and you know there's nothing to save where their pointy toes went into the dirt and scraped into all the good onion. With a careful look around, though, you find one onion that might be worth something. You pull it up, and - yup, that one's not so bad off. Almost makes you tear up a little.
  • [else:] Even before the demons came through, those onions weren't much. Now, their leaves are all singy and curled, and there's all demon clawmarks in the soil around them. They're not good for much any more but stinging up your eyes.

  Dependability: that's the onion. Whenever a plate's at a loss, just introduce one and you'll find its taste improved nine times in ten. Raw, roasted, caramelized, fried, grilled or minced: an onion's up for almost anything. But those are techniques for a chef. All you should do, my dear, is eat.
