I learned something today, a valuable piece of knowledge for anyone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen. Did you know that to prevent burning and watery eyes while cutting an onion you just put a piece of bread in your mouth? Well, you don't need a whole piece, I just used half a heel today...but IT WORKED! And that excites me, because I hate burning my eyes out due to onion vapor. Its weird cuz the gas rising from the onion reacts with the water in your eyes to produce sulfuric acid, but I guess the moisture in the bread must help block the speedy transit to the optical region by soaking up some of the vapors. hmmm. fun stuff.
anyhoot, I got the best Christmas presents ever this year.
Here's the list:
cordless drill complete with bits
golf hat
set of mini hand carved wooden ducks
chopsticks complete with oriental cookbook
book on prayer by oswald chambers
boxed set of 7 harmonicas (yes, seven)
frog hat and matching scarf
set of knives (kitchen not throwing)
an old fashioned malt maker (used, even better, and mint green!)

I just peeled an onion and put a piece of bread in my mouth. It worked, not one tear! Thank you for the tip.I have tried everything. My last resort was having my husband cut the onions for me. Now I will use bread.
Thanks for visiting my blog.
