A friend of mine told me about this tip a few weeks ago and I had to try it: Light a candle near you when you are chopping onions. It will keep you from crying.
The verdict? It works! For some reason I bought some of the smelliest, tear-jerking onions I've ever cut into. Last night I needed to chop one for lasagna so I lit a candle and set it next to my cutting board. Not only was the flame zenfully relaxing...sort of meditation inducing...but it also absorbed all of the onion's tear-inducingness (I know it's it not a word but it sounds good). I highly recommend trying this. Thanks Ashlee!
