A Useful Discovery

Shawna and I discovered something fun tonight. Do you ever cut up onions and just hate how much your eyes burn? Have you tried putting a piece of bread in your mouth while cutting (just a suggestion a friend of ours gave us) and been sorely disappointed? Well, tonight shredded about 30 lb of onions tonight, had onions and juice all over the counters and our eyes were not burning at all. How, you may ask? We wore swim goggles. Not full face masks, just the kind that cover the eyes. At first I thought it would get me anyhow because I was breathing it in through my nose, but it did not at all. I do think it would be worth wearing a snorkling mask, though because I think the onion smell will remain in my nose for a day or so. Try it next time. You will certainly look silly, but your eyes will thank you.
