Onion sandwiches

My dad loved onion sandwiches. Big, thick slices of onion with some mayonnaise between two slices of bread, had to be his favorite snack. He loved any kind of onions in his sandwich. I don't remember him eating this at meals, but I do remember him snacking on an onion sandwich many times. He must have had little bit of a strange sense of taste, because he was always eating green apricots off his parent's apricot tree. The tree was right by the driveway of the house where my grandparents lived in Oakland, so when we came to visit, he headed strait for the tree to check them out. I can remember tasting the apricots when they were only a little orange, and they were really sour, but Dad loved to eat them off the tree just to see if they were ripe yet...they never were!
