The other week, I decided to make caramelized onion dip to bring to a ladies’ night, but I was not excited to weep over 5 pounds of yellow onions. And then my friend told me a little trick: put a few matches in between your lips, match head out (unlit, ha!) and carry on with your chopping. Apparently, the sulfur at the end of the matches absorbs all the acid from the onions. I tried it that afternoon and barely shed a tear. Afterwards, I had to go around telling everybody, and I found that about 50% of people already knew this trick (the response was either, you didn’t know that? or WHAT, COOL!) So just in case you’re the latter : )
