i am making chili for the super bowl and cutting onions makes me cry. so i googled how to stop this, one way is to wear swim goggles, and the second way is to put two unlit matches in your mouth. (i guess the sulfur absorbs the onion fumes or something like that)
i forgot to wear this while i cooked up my chili but i think it's real funny. my mom got this right when microwaves came out in the 80's. it is pretty awesome and she has lovingly passed it down to me. (a family heirloom if you will)
my super bowl 3 meat/2 bean chili quite tasty. i kinda made it up as i went, so i have no recipe to share.

I have a picture of you at my house a few years ago cutting onions with my goggles on.

It turns out wearing soft contacts makes cutting onions very tolerable. Which sort of makes one wonder about the claims that soft contacts are very gas permeable. But nonetheless contact wearers should be the designated onion choppers in every household; its just good resource allocation.
