Tomato paste, I buy the tube. Never have to worry about that whole what do I
do with the rest thing again. Just use what you need and refrigerate the
rest. Of course, I use it at least a couple times a month.
Onions, well, I don't think I've ever measured them out! lol I usually just
"eye" what I have and go with it. Of course, there's always the option of
not chopping both full onions too...chop 1 1/2 and wrap the rest of the
onion and use it for sandwiches the next day!
