Are you one of those people who cry when cutting an onion? I am when the purple ones are involved. I decided to google up ways to lessen the tears when chopping onions and this is some of what I found.
1. Cut onion over an open flame.
2. Chill your onion in a freezer.
3. Wear gas tight goggles or a mask
4. Stick your tongue out
5. Whistle
These all are seemingly ridiculous. I’d like to know if you’ve tried any of these and if they work!

thanks for the smile although I must admit I haven’t tried any of the above, and am a little afraid to try #1…
:) me too.
