My husband took this picture as he walked into our kitchen one day.
When I first started cooking in college, I could cut onions without shedding a tear. They did not bother me at all. Just a few years later, I cannot touch an onion without tears streaming and mascara running down my face. And we LOVE onions. I chop them so often.
For now, the swimming goggles are my best friend.
ANY ADVICE??
I have the same problem! It is terrible, the second I start cutting an onion the tears start pouring...I have heard chewing mint gum helps and I have personally found cutting them near a turned on stove (gas is the best) helps a lot. I love the goggles idea though. I think my biology lab goggles may be making an appearance in my kitchen soon now :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! I will give those a try! My mother-in-law told me it helps to keep them in the refrigerator. Hope you LOVE the goggles!
ReplyDeleteI know from experience that if you stick your head in the freezer, it helps with the burning. It also looks almost as cool as goggles.
