You Can Thank Me Later...

So I got this trick from my brother-in-law, and although not a recipe, I think you will all worship me after learning this...

Place 2 matches in your mouth, match side out, as you cut onions. The sulfer in the matches sucks up any onion smells. I cut two whole onions and even took my time doing it and I my eyes didn't sting once. It was awesome. I just keep two matches on the windowsill above my sink. Good luck!

Just make sure you don't light them before you stick them in your mouth... haha. Actually, Kelli used this trick at my house and it was awesome. Silly looking, but awesome.

I wish I could be a fly-on-the-wall at everyone's house after reading this. All of us with matches in our mouths. HA! Thanks, Kelli!

If my hubby were the one telling me to do this I would think it was a funny joke. Good thing you are not a fly on my wall Stina, I am going to try this. Anything not to have a bawl fest while chopping onions :)
