Tear Gas

If you know me well, you also know I have no idea how to cook. Living on my own I've tried to make the effort and branch out a little (even though the cook book I got from my mom last year is still wrapped in plastic).

Although I have slowly tried to expand my horizons to the cooking realm, I have ALWAYS stayed away from onions knowing that they make people cry.

Today I decided that I was ready to take the giant leap with all of my new knowledge from online tutorial videos such as, "The right way to cut an onion" and "Cutting an Onion without Crying."

Well... not ONLY did I cut the onion correctly with the entire bulb cut out, BUT I also teared up and cried with mascara streaming down my cheeks! Mission failed. Onions are officially my tear gas.

Any tips?
