Dinner @ the Dixson's

Hello all! I missed a week of 'thankfulness' due to a vacation, that I am very thankful for : )

We went to Branson for a week for family vacation and had a great time. It was a relaxing, slow paced week. Lots of shopping occurred and we wanted to share a blog post about one of our treasures....

Bloomin' Onion Maker!!! (our favorite appetizer)

So... here you have it... Dixson dinner, step by step : 

This is it: Bloomin' Onion Maker and picture guide : )

Rhea reading the instructions to Mommy

Helping mix up the seasonings..
all the pepper sure helped clear her sinuses,
she was sneezin like crazy

Our little potato helper, she loves to get them in a bucket and carry them around.

Careful selection of the egg to go in the milk for coating

Cutting the onion, a tearful event, as always.

Forgot to photograph the boiling and cooling of the onion,
but here we are trying to work the coating and batter on
(more difficult than we thought it should be)

in the fryer!

Golden brown, looks good!

tool included to remove the 'core' from the bottom

She's a beauty! Ready with ranch to head out to the table!

A PERFECT night for supper outside. Wonderful temp and no breeze.

Here we go.... Mmm Mmm Mmm

Yummy!

Rhea had some too (she likes the ranch)

And my beloved dish-man in action!

Overall, it was pretty easy to make and tasted great! We decided it was a little too crispy this time so maybe a little less time in the grease next time around. 
So.... who's comin' for steak night next week?!  ; )
