Quick pickled onions 
Mandolin a red onion and put in colander, pour boiling water over onions, put in jar with vinegar (rice, apple cider, or red wine) with peppercorns and a bay leaf if you have access. 
Bay grows like crazy in California, but I have never seen it in the wild in the P Northwest :(
The onions are PERFECT for making salads for lunch because you don't really need dressing...
I used tons of wild arugula, shredded carrots, a spoonful of leftover durum cous cous, cilantro, chicken from the roast we made a few nights ago, topped with the onions and some black pepper

Hey

Saying thanks will certainly not simply be sufficient to this sort of clever work and coverage! Keep up the good works.

hey katie, yeah you just fill the jar with onions and then pour straight vinegar in to fill jar. i think some people may cut it with water to make it less acidic. we put it in fridge, but i'm sure you could leave it out just the same.
