Kitchen Tip

I was cutting onions to make a salad today and I couldn't see because I was crying so much.  I was thinking-there has to be a better way to cut onions so I don't cry.  I know that they make onion-cutting goggles you can wear (much like swim goggles).  Then I remembered a scene from one of my favorite TV shows "Veronica Mars".  They were cutting up onions with metal spoons in their mouth and they said that it stopped them from crying.  I was thinking to myself that it was a TV show and probably just made it up, but I decided to try it anyway.  It worked!  I could still smell the onions, but it didn't bother me at all.  I guess you can learn something from watching tv.
