Omg I love the blooming onion. I tried it at Texas Roadhouse. At first it sounded weird to me but when I saw it and tried it-I fell in love.

mmm, blooming onions! i saw a machine that makes blooming
onions at the thrift store the other day, but was skeptical if
it even worked or not. i really didn't have any room for it,
anyway...

i don't have a fryer though :/  i'm afraid i'd use it too much!
but they do sound awfully good. i'd even trade $8 for one,
at outback. haha.

This is good, but I think that I will save this for eating out as a special occasion.  I like to cook, but this is too messy and greasy to prepare in my home. Thanks just the same for posting.
