I got my ass kicked by an onion today while doing meal prep for dinner. I swear certain times of the year the onion struggle is so much worse than others. It was brutal!
I couldn’t open my eyes at all and had to leave the kitchen. The most ridiculous part about the whole episode is that I own a pair of onion goggles for this very reason. The problem is I inevitably always forget to put them on until it’s too late. You see, once the onion is cut it’s game over.
The particles have been released into the air and there is no stopping them. I learned that the hard way one night. I put the goggles on after I had already made that first slice into the onion.
The initial tingling reminded me that I needed my goggles. Much to my horror, I quickly realized I had trapped the fumes inside the goggles with my eyeballs. So much worse. It was an onion on steroids and I had no choice but to ride it out.
