> [@carrps](#): > > On edit: I’ve heard that it’s not worth using the (somewhat) sweeter varieties of onions when they’re cooked, because all onions will sweeten when cooked. Depends - with your typical yellow onion, if you want to bring out the sweetness, you’ve got to go low and slow to caramelize them. Walla Wallas are sweet enough that you can get similar results in just a few minutes. They’re only really available from June to August, and IMO they’re a lot better than your typical sweet onion. Vidalias don’t even compare. > [@OttoDaFe](#): > > Parts of the OP, such as Olympic National Park and Port Townsend, are truly beautiful; others, particularly the ex-logging areas, are dyed-in-the-wool Trump country. Indeed. Stay away from Shelton unless you’re going to the drive-in. And the less said about Yelm, the better. If you want a taste of what Washington is like outside of the Puget Sound metropolis, go about 30 miles south of Olympia on I-5 and look for the Uncle Sam billboard which has been displaying far-right whack-a-doodle talking points ever since the current owner’s father got peeved at the Eisenhower administration for running the freeway through the middle of his land. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day-part-2/959018)._
