I've been crying for the past twenty minutes...

[ZombieNixon]

I hate chopping onions. Hate it, hate it, hate it. x(

:P

1. wise woman once told me

"how do you know if you are jealous?"

"you cry when you chop an onion"

so there

[lavenderdiva]

2. awwww...

Here's something I learned to get the onion smell off of your hands. Normally, soap & water just won't get the onion smell off of your hands, no matter how many times you wash them. If you have a stainless steel sink, or something that is made of stainless steel, rub your hands all over the sink or implement, and then wash your hands. Presto-change-o, no more onion smell. Can't explain why, but it does work!

6. Don't they sell stainless-steel

in the shape of a soap? Just for that reason.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Yes, they do! Apparently works with onion and garlic smell.

[lavenderdiva]

34. they sure do- but if you have a stainless steel sink, it works just fine.

3. Geez...

I thought you were serious... about crying. :D I was all in "comfort" mode... :p Well, I ate onions today, but I know your pain.

[ZombieNixon]

10. BWAHAHA!!! It was all a ploy!

:P

:hug:

(I'll eat the onions when the soup is done. :D)

[LadyoftheRabbits]

13. ...

:cry: You used me...

:P

[ZombieNixon]

16. Just making sure I know where you stand...

:eyes: :P

[LadyoftheRabbits]

18. Well,

Enjoy your soup, weepy one. :P

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. Well, I was going to come comfort you, but since you don't need me...

I'll just go back to sipping my cosmo. :P :beer:

[ZombieNixon]

9. This has just been a test of the emergency broadcast system...

:P

[RevolutionaryActs]

11. You shouldn't toy with my emotions like that when I'm drinking.

Or else I'LL end up crying. :crazy:

5. My Mom

used to put a piece of bread in her mouth....then when she realized that didn't work she wore sunglasses when she chopped them.
She would have a Crown Royal and ginger ale to. I think that helped the most!

29. Cool.

Yeah, this place is great! Lots of cool people here. Get to know as many people as possible. Most are very friendly.
:hi:

[Kajsa]

27. Welcome to DU!

This place is very addictive.

Hours fly by when you're here.

:hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

7. Then don't do it so fucking slowly.

20 minutes to cut an onion?

For god's sake, man, sharpen your knives and go faster.

[ZombieNixon]

14. Well, no,

twenty minutes to chop two onions, then some carrots and about six beets...then put them all together and boil and such.

It's just that the onions happened first.

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. Carrots, onions, and beets?

Interesting...

what are you making?

[ZombieNixon]

25. My mom decided to make some kind of borsht for dinner,

but she had work to do, so I did it instead.

[Rabrrrrrr]

30. Mmmmm..... borscht!

I love beets. Fuckin' love 'em.

[Jamastiene]

12. I always eat a small piece of onion while I am chopping

onions. For some reason, I never cry when I chop onions now.

Wow, that reminds me. I once thought a great song title would be: "Every time I chop onions, it makes me think of you." I don't know why I had thought that was a good idea. Must have been drunk at the time. :shrug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. Jamastiene!!!! HI!

How are you?! I haven't seen you in forever! :hug:

[Jamastiene]

28. I'm doing fine.

I have two more semesters to go before I get my little Associate's Degree in Computer Engineering. Hopefully, I can get a decent job and start saving to escape this town and live somewhere nice.

And how have you been? I sure have missed you, my fellow badger hunter, :evilgrin:. :hug:

[RevolutionaryActs]

32. I know, I haven't been on much.

I''ve been busy with work, my now old job, the one at the cafe was pure evil. I worked way too much. So I quit a couple weeks ago, now I have a better job at an office. It's really great, I get to work with my older brother. :D

See how nicely Shakira works in the crying/chopping onions theme into this (in between the gyrations, lol)

23. That video is so HOT!

:evilgrin:

[idgiehkt]

33. Yah!

One of my all-time favorites. I just wish she'd used chocolate instead of crude so I could imagine licking it off of her. I just can't get past it like it is, lol.

[Jamastiene]

31. ROFLMAO.

:rofl:

Awwww, you remembered. :hug:

[Kajsa]

35. LOL !

You had me fooled, too, ZombieNixon.

I was all set with sympathy and hugs.

How was the soup?:P

;-)

[ZombieNixon]

36. Ten minutes ago, it was too hot to eat.

I'm going to go have it now and watch Jon Stewart. :hi:

[NMDemDist2]

37. next time put a bowl of water between you and the cutting board

PS the stainless steel trick is a good one too!
