Damn! I knew I left my aviator goggles somewhere. Give 'em back!
Nuh uh, you can't have 'em!
Finders keepers - Losers (onion) weepers!
You have no idea how many times I've been tempted to buy a pair of swim goggles for when I cut onions (pretty much every time I cut onions.
So, how much do those puppies cost? And do they come in magenta (must coordinate with the hair...)
I am sure you could paint them or apply colored tape to them. They very well be available in different colors. Swim caps are.
Anyway, those are such a good idea.
I actually don't cry when I slice onions. So, I can go google free.
Why do you not cry? Do you slice them under cold water? Do you have no tear ducts or no sense of smell?
I am curious.
Onions are filled with some kind of chemical compound (I wish I could remember the name) that, when released into the air (by cutting the onion) mixes with the water in your eyes and creates a mild acid (doesn't FEEL mild) and that is what makes you cry.
Smell has nothing to do with it - but if AG wears contact lenses that should also prevent crying.
Thus endeth boring Chef lecture.
But, isn't there some connection between the sense of smell and sight/vision? If an odor is bad enough it can make your eyes tear. If you get punched in the nose the eyes tend to tear up which has nothing to do with smell. I was just thinking of the whole nose to eye relation.
I am SO bored at work!
