I am a serious onion weeper. It usually starts when I'm peeling them and then continues until they've been stirred into something and have been sauteed into submission. Previously, the only means I found of avoiding the onion weeping was when Brandon gave me googles to wear. Although effective, it did have the negative side effect of making me sort of blind since I don't have prescription googles. Plus there was the whole looking very stupid thing.While working in the kitchen this morning the crying started with the peeling when I remembered hearing somewhere along the line that burning a small candle near your cutting board would draw away the sulfer fumes and reduce the weepies. So I tried it. Big improvement over normal and these were strong, fresh farmers market onions so this might become a regular practice.
