...One thing I haven't figured out though is when cutting recipe's in half,,,, what the hell do you do with the other half of the onion?
Although you probably meant this, tongue in cheek, when you cook for yourself every day, you likely continually use these staples a bit at a time. I place the leftover bits in the fridge, in individual Zip-lock sandwich bags, using sweet onion, for example, in salads, sandwiches, etc. When vegetables begin to fade too much for salad, make soup or stew or pasta sauce, rather than discard.
