It really bothered her when she was declared "disabled" and not allowed to
work ... even though she could still do the job.

Whst bothered her worser was when her grand daughter, Hayley, who was on
track to become an Olympic swimmer has the degenerative discs knock that
dream for a loop.

     Title: Olympic Onion Rings
Categories: Vegetables, Beads, Dairy, Chilies
     Yield: 8 Servings

          Cooking spray
     3 lg Onions (1 3/4 lb) sliced 1/2
          - inch thick, separated into

          Ice water
 1 3/4 c  A-P flour

     1 tb Ground chile
     4 c  Cornflakes; crushed
 1 1/2 c  Fine dried breadcrumbs

 Set the oven @ 450ºF/232ºC.

 Line two large baking sheets with parchment. Transfer
 the larger onion rings to a bowl of ice water; reserve
 the smaller rings for another use. In a wide, shallow
 dish, add 1 1/2 cups flour. In a second wide, shallow
 dish, whisk the buttermilk, remaining 1/4 cup flour, 1
 tbsp. coarse salt and the chile powder, if using, until
 well combined. In a third wide, shallow dish, mix the
 cornflakes and breadcrumbs.

 Working with 1 ring at a time, remove from the water and
 coat in the flour, then soak in the buttermilk mixture,
 then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, shaking off any
 excess. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets in a
 single layer. Spray generously with cooking spray.

 Bake the rings for 25 to 30 minutes, turning once with a
 fork and rotating the pans (top to bottom) on the
 shelves. Serve hot.
