    How to cut onions without crying

    Well I am not so sure about this one..... But I cut onions often and it is rare that I cry while cutting an onion, but every now and then I should get an oscar.

    This article says it has the secret to not crying when you cut the onion.

    How do you cut the mustard without it stinking?
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.

    That is top secret information. It is highly classified. If I share it my life could be in danger.

    My secret weapon is my contact lenses. When I am wearing my glasses and start cutting onion I wonder where my super powers went!

    My kids are extremely sensitive to cut onions and they don't understand how I can do it so much with no tears. I've never told them my secret.
    You are wrong about police.

    For me, the best method I have found is, do NOT breathe through your nose while cutting an onion. It's more difficult than you might think, but it works. I have a very wide window ledge in front of my kitchen window, and in the warmer months, I'll place a small fan there, pointed out the window, that helps.

    That is interesting. I never would have thought of using a fan. But I also keep my onions in the refrigerator. I think that seems to help. Not sure though.

    How are you at making a big spaghetti pan of macaroni and cheese without it coming out looking like a sculpture?

    Oh and in High Heels?
