The Lie of Caramelized Onions
I have come to this conclusion way early in life they lie.
Kinda way before I started trying to cook well.
When working on car/ motorcycles trying to make them faster all components will give you a time it should take to install said parts. That is always a lie.
The rule of thumb was always double it if you had a really good set of tools and a fridge with beer.
Crap tools no beer call friends and beg for tools and get beer and Lord help ya it is gonna take forever.
