One day at the supermarket, a long time ago, Chuck and I were gushing over the facts that there were yellow onions available.
Why, asked an American lady, do you get so excited? look at the beautiful white onions they have.
And that was the point. White onions we can get all the time. Yellow onions were, and are, a rarity.
I was remembering this incident as I was squeezing my last of the hoarded lemons. The ordinary, yellow lemon that is so hard to find here in Vallarta. Limes we have aplenty, I even have a lime tree in my back yard and there are several out in the street. But lemons, like yellow onions, are rare.
I like the white onions and I like the limes but......there are times when a yellow onion and a yellow lemon is the right thing.
Just sayin'
