Good answer Sandyj....I know just what you mean.

AllenMI, I've never kept my onions in the fridge (except after I've cut them). Do they keep well?
KAYLINDA said:I use my food processor for the dicing...it might help you!
Sandyj said:Sometimes....I feel like I need a good cry. Cutting up an onion helps things along.....

In the Kitchen said:Sitting here alone reading on the Internet and saw your post. I thank you so much for making me laugh! Most of the time you do anyway but tonite was special. I am happy you caught that with the woman doing everything to prevent from her eyes watering. I cry plenty anyway about life I don't think onions are worth it EVERYtime. You are also right about getting it out and fooling around with all the different parts. Then when you can't find them all at once? That does drive me wild. One time I found a part in where I put my towels. I could not figure that one out. Wonder where your mind goes?
Jenny, if you read th e post mish made you may as well just accept that you have to admit that crying over onions is better than having real cat ast rophe to cry about.
Thankful I did ask because when I do get response it gives ideas of what to try. I just know I can overpower this onion! I will, I will, I will.
