Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium or medium-low heat. Add the onions, sugar and salt Cook, stirring occasionally, for 40 to 45 minutes, until the onions are tender and lightly caramelized. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 2-3 minutes.

Golf/15 Eppsaces#8...

Congratulations to Robert Epps on making his fourth overall Hole in One and his third ace on Hole #8. Robert hit a 7 iron from 156 yards on Friday, August 9. Witnesses were Scot Oshman, Hank Hall and David Krams. Robert told the group before they started, “I had a premonition that I am making a hole in one today!” Robert must be psychic.
