KING'S ARMS TAVERN-LIKE CREAMED ONIONS
This is similar to the recipe for creamed onions served at the King's Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. The Tavern version (from a 1970s cookbook of Old Williamsburg recipes) includes extra salt which I omit. The salted peanuts make it salty enough for my tastes, even before the doctor put me on a low-salt diet. However, I always have a salt shaker on the table so people who like it saltier can add it themselves.

CREAMED PEARL ONIONS
When our children were small, we always celebrated Christmas at our house. This was one of many recipes I relied on that could be prepared a day in advance, which gave me more time to spend with guests. Everyone expected to see this vegetable dish on the table every year. -Barbara Caserman, Lake Havasu City, Arizona
