I only have eyes for...onions

Just when I thought I had everything I ever needed, Darrell goes and gets me something amazing! :)

One of the Christmas presents that I received from Darrell is a pair of pink swim goggles. (You're thinking huh? Heather doesn't really swim that much.) Well I don't swim often, but I do cut onions often! My eyes can't bear the onion fumes, they make my eyes water, so Darrell bought me pink onion goggles! I've tried holding a match in my mouth (it's supposed to eat up the gaseous fumes before it gets to my eyes), holding water in my mouth, going as fast as I can, using a food processor, etc. Nothing has worked as well as the goggles!

Last week I took a picture of how silly yet cool I look wearing the onion goggles. Enjoy the goofy picture, especially my puffy pregnant face.

Your goggles match you shirt. Color coordinated cooking. For some reason, chopping onions doesn't bother me. Every once in a while I will come across a really potent one that will make my eyes water a little, otherwise nothing. I just seem to have an impenetrable shield over my eyes.
