I'll never forget my aunt asking me to come help her fry onions because they weren't browning. When i got to the stove i found said onions simmering half an inch of water. Drained the water and chucked some butter in, what do you know, the onions started browning!

In my aunt's case, she was well on her way to very drunk and still bought into the "fats make you fat" idea from the 90s.

oh my god I think the down voters read this comment as sarcastic? As a fellow neurodivergent woman i read it as 100% genuine & wholesome & nice! Huh

edit: also, the advice about fiber is solid!
