    That's a good one!

    A hint to stop you from crying when cutting/chopping onions....when I was cooking in restaurants etc., I always kept my bags or boxes of onions in the cold room. As you can imagine, I used to chop a lot of onions! So if you keep your onions in the fridge you'll find you'll cry no more. Keeping them chilled certainly stopped the flow of tears. :)

    fishducky; I thought so too.

    joeh; when one cries, you all cry?

    Delores; glad you like it.

    Lee; I keep my onions in the fridge all the time, some still make me cry, some don't. I think a lot has to do with the age of the onion. New season onions fresh from the farms will have me crying an ocean. Older onions might just sting the eyes a bit.

    I loved this one and it reminded me of when Phil peels onions. I think the last time he popped on a pair of those protective things you wear to protect your eyes when doing dangerous jobs. It worked too. Thanks for sharing this one.

Words for Wednesday

Image
  The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1.conviviality  2.adoration  3.willpower   4.mellow  5.gentle  6.guitar Have fun, don't use all the words if you can't,there's no pressure here. My story will appear on this blog on Friday as always, unless I can't write one... edit: Charlotte's colour of the month is Beauty Berry Purple.

Sunday Selections #754

Image
 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. Brother R came to visit and brought me some old paperwork belonging to my dad, who has been dead for 25 and a half years now.  They'd been stored in a container with moth balls and were quite stinky so I pegged them out on the clothes rack in the back porch three days later, most are now inside, but the heavier items such as dad's passports are still smelly so they are still out there. I now have the original copy of his natu...

Charlotte's colour of the month for May is Gold : The colour of sunshine, daffodils, little yellow dandelions before they become puffballs, baby chicken and ducklings too are golden . the pan is prepared, the ingredients are measured and ready, look at those gloriously golden egg yolks, and the golden butter, let's mix and bake just out of the oven, a golden lemon ricotta cake time to take off the paper,  and see it ...
