Make sure your knife is sharp as can be, that really cuts down on the onion releasing the stuff that makes you tear up.

Yes. After peeling the dry outer layer, turn on the cold water tap. Keep it running and rinse your hands and knife every few cuts. It keeps excess juice off your knife and hands and stops it squirting or evaporating into your eyes.

Yes, if you intend to use a knife instead of a food processor, put the onions in the fridge for a little while before chopping them up.

Trader joes! You get packets of chopped onions for $1.5 and they last a good week. Completely worth it! Each packet is good for 2-3 dishes worth of onions.

My 2nd option for dealing with onions is this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00T8O6B1Q/ref=cm_sw_r_em_apa_i_7M-YEbG1VFRGY

Put them in the fridge for an hour or so before you cut them. Also don’t cut the butt off the onion until the very end!

Stick out your tongue when cutting

Do you already put them in the fridge? Makes them much more bearable to be cut straight out of the fridge.

Perfect - I will do this as well :)

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?
