Ahh, it's the par-boiling that I was missing.
Nutmeg sounds really good, too. Thanks!

22Here is the recipe of the Pissaladière, typical food from Nice:
Ingredients for 5-6 persons:
- 500 g of bread dough
- 3 tablespoons of oil
- 1.250 kg of white onions
- 1 glass of olive oil
- 1 teaspoonful of sugar
- 60g of small olives of Nice
Peel and cut the onions in small parts.
Heat the olive oil in a small casserole, then pour the onions in it and let them cook without colouring by stirring them up with a wood spoon.
At the end of the cooking, they must be melting without being gilded. Work the bread dough with the three spoonfuls of oil. Flatten it and give it the shape of a disc of 25 cm in diameter and about one centimetre thick. Roll slightly the edges to form a central cavity.
Heat the oven (180°C).
Powder the sugar upon the onions, mix them and cover the paste with this mixture.
Decorate with small olives.
Slip the pissaladière into the hot oven and let cook 30 minutes.
You can eat the Pissaladière hot or cool.
You can also add anchovies before to put the pissaladière in the oven if you like them. I hope the translation is OK.
Enjoy!

30Cheap, quick, yummy and filling. Not gourmet by any stretch but hits the spot if you don't want to cook or need to eat in 5 minutes or less.
Bean Dip
1- 16 oz. can refried beans
1- 16 oz. jar of salsa (whatever heat you prefer; hot for me)
8 oz package shredded taco cheese (or whichever shredded cheese you prefer); optional
Mix all ingredients in a microwavable casserole dish and pop in the micro for 3 - 5 minutes. Stir occasionally while cooking. Grab the blue (or yellow)cornchips and you've got a complete protein in minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped onions and sour cream if you want to get fancy about it.
Another favorite quick meal tip, taught to me by my Indonesian roommate, way back when in college.
Cook ramen noodle soup according to package directions. Break an egg into it and stir it up until cooked (about a minute). Garnish as you like.
I like to cook very much when there's people to share it with and have a nice repertoire of recipes but when it's just me, I typically do the "bachelor cook" thing. I figured these would be the most relevant.
