I've played World of Warcraft since the first Beta and it's been a great ride, at least up until the last expansion. The news of Microsoft's acquisition has me hopeful for great new MMORPG.
Here's my recipe, adapted from numerous others found on YouTube:
1: Cut one red onion along the grain to minimize cell damage,
2: Simmer the onion slices in water a few minutes to soften them,
3: Put the slices into a 16oz mason jar,
4: Fill the jar half with white vinegar and half with water,
5: Add a pinch or two of Diamond Crystal salt and a pinch or two of cane sugar. 6: Refrigerate overnight.
The onions turn a beautiful shade of pink as they age and they can last for weeks without going bad.
Modern-day NYT crosswords are much more like the "British" crosswords described in the article in that they are are often chock-full of clever, cryptic clues.
