Recently, I have been wanting onion flavor without onions. It's just something that got stuck in my head. Hee hee.

The onion powder I buy comes in a blister pack. I don't know what
brand mine was because I transferred it to a different container, but
the two brands I have in my refrigerator are El Guapo and La Fiesta.

Whatever the brand. It's available at any grocery store. dsi1 makes it
sound like they don't have common things like this in Hawaii. I'm
pretty sure they do. Garlic powder, too.

Last night I cut two zucchini into 1/4 inch lenghtwise slices.
I brushed them, both sides with olive oil. One zucchini I sprinkled
with the grill seasoning and the other with some fresh tarragon from
my garden and grilled them.
The grill seasoning I used is great on steak, but I didn't care for it
on the zucchini, it was o.k. but a bit agressive for vegetables.
I've always liked tarragon on squash, it's my go to seasoning for
squash.

Lots of things are different in Hawaii. Not a huge Mexican community
there for starters.

Absolutely agree. Yet dsi1 makes it sound like onion powder is some
weird exotic thing. It's not.

Um, since the thread drifted to onion powder I'm supposed to surmise
only Mexicans use onion powder?

Many brands.

You guys sound confused. What I can't find in our market shelves and
have never seen is onion powder. I'm not talking about grill spice,
onion salt, dehydrated onions, dried minced onions, yadda, yadda, yadda.

I'm happy that all ya'alls got onion powder coming out of your butts -
how does that help me with my major problem?

Hee hee.

Onion powder is probably the most common ingredient in any market's
seasoning section, after garlic powder... regardless ethnicity.

If your market has dehy onions they have onion powder... you need an
eye exam.

Maybe you're not looking in the right place. Look with the regular spices.

Well... I just went shopping for some anchovies and cream cheese
frosting - just kidding about the frosting. There's not much point in
buying frosting because I don't make cakes these days. I used to when
the kids were small. They just don't appreciate that kind of thing anymore.

As it goes, I checked the spices next to the dehydrated onions and my
worst fears were realized. There WAS onion powder next to the onions.
Hee hee - please disregard any comments I made about there not being any
onion powder in Hawaii. As a show of contrition, I bought that expensive
little $4+ bottle. As it goes, that stuff is too expensive. If I need
any powder, I'm just gonna pound on some dehydrated onions with
something heavy. I get dehydrated onions for dirt cheap at Costco. I
love that stuff.

I've never tried to whiz dehydrated onions in a spice/coffee grinder,
but I suspect you'll end up with granulated onion vs powdered... which
isn't a bad thing when you're constructing a seasoning mix. Costco
has bottles of dehydrated onion, you say? Maybe I'll buy one and go
nuts with it.

At the moment, I'm still trying to find the seasoning recipe I didn't
save that called for powdered bitter orange rinds.

I'm a big fan of the stuff and use it a lot. Boy, it saves me a lot of
time. I just ran out of some last night but the bottom of the container
was mostly powder and fragments so I powdered that stuff and used it to
coat some fried pork chops. It's sort of like a natural MSG substitute.

People can look right at something sometimes and not see it. BTDT.

This has been happening to me for the last 10 years or so. If I can't
find an object that I'm looking for, I'll stop and try to imagine what
it looks like. Most times it doesn't help. My object recognition
processing abilities are withering away.

Sometimes my hand will be drawn to what I am looking for. Not always
though. Would be nice if it were always.

I guess it depends just how dehydrated they are. If I dry mine until they
are crispy they grind to a power just fine.

Good luck with that one. I can never find one when it happens to me

Grind it. If you have a dehydrator it is even cheaper.

In stores here, it's part of a standard of scripted customer service
staff are trained to follow. They also employ "mystery shoppers" to
test staff compliance.

The upshot is that if you ask where to find X they insist on leading
you to the right spot, help you find it, smile, ask if you need any
further assistance, and if not, make some pleasant social farewell.

I guess you and I are just lucky, eh? I've never had a store employee
flat out tell me they don't carry a certain item without checking on it
first. (Easy enough to do given computers.) I've even had employees
offer to get something from the back for me if an item hadn't been
restocked yet. Imagine... stores with helpful employees!

Ho ho, now that's something. Sounds like something Dr. Sacks would describe.

My guess is that dehydrated onions I get dirt cheap at Costco are cheaper than buying and dehydrating the onions myself. I used to dehydrate stuff but these days, it's not as thrilling for me. :-)

I guess I could dry them in the oven a bit more if they aren't as dry
as they need to be in order to powder them.

Thanks. It's proving to be true too. What I saw was buried in
something else, so it's like finding a needle in a haystack. Wish I
could remember what I was searching at that time. It might help.

Well, something screwy is going on. Sometimes things that I look for will materialize in front of me. It's either imps playing tricks or my brain is messed up. In such situations, I think it's always wiser to blame the brain.

I can't say I ever got a thrill from the dehydrator but it can be very
useful!

The devil is in the details, and the plants, and the walls, and behind the coffee maker. :-)

We have that going on here too! I will be certain that something is in a
specific spot but nobody can find it. In the end, it is exactly where I
thought it was. Once it was my car keys. But what had happened there is
that I have my computer monitor on a little stand. The stand is one piece
and open underneath but not much of an opening. And there is a lip around
it that tucks under. I knew I had set my keys in front of it. Somehow they
got pushed under it and tucked up into the lip. I couldn't see them when I
looked under and my hand barely fits but I did find them with my hand.

I can believe that the hand can recognize an object while the eyes
cannot. Very strange!
