Oven Baked Onion Rings and Mozzarella Sticks

Over Shabbos, we got an ice storm here in Baltimore. I had been warned that the street conditions weren't too great, so the Huz and I decided to stay in and have a family Lost marathon. We had a tasty breakfast, followed by Lost and laundry, then more Lost, more laundry, and then it was snack time. For a while, I've had this big onion in my fridge. I wish I had thought to take a picture of it, because it was pretty impressive. But what I DID think of was onion rings, and I'm glad I did.

Eggs in a Nest and a new camera

Simple. Tasty. But if you don't like runny yolk (like I do. Yum!) make sure you cook it well.
