You can say that again! I used to make that onion bread in the dehydrator.
That was smelly but doable to me. But this? Where it got the worst was in
the garage. I suppose because the windows are open and it blew the stench
that way. I went out there in the middle of the night and at first thought I
smelled garlic. But no. It was the onions and it was such a horrible
concentrated aroma! It almost knocked me right over. Odd thing was that
Angela didn't complain of it. Perhaps her nose was stuffy? She isn't
really keen on the onion scent. I happen to like it but this was even too
much for me.
