This is what I have been doing today ~ my husband likes pickled onions, I don't.So I pickled him a few bottles, which I hope that he will enjoy.
Don't you hate it when your eyes are crying and tears are running down your cheeks, when you are peeling onions?

What we'll do for love! Onions and hot peppers . . . do NOT touch anything until you have washed your hand thoroughly!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, Carolyn, Kodak will have to be on that med the rest of his life. I'm hoping we can find an alternative as not only is this one extremely expensive but it's very hard on his liver and kidneys.
Have a wonderful day!
xxoo
I cry too, Carolyn. I posted about this once and got tons of ideas from readers. None worked! But you are a really great sport to make these for your hubby!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your birthday girls!
I had the onion problem yesterday so I feel your pain. What a sweet gesture to your husband though! Happy birthday to both your sister and friend!
ReplyDeletei hate it when onions make your tears flow! :(
ReplyDeleteOnions can be dangerous! Stopping that onion burn is horrible. I hope your husband appreciates your suffering as he bites into his pickled onions! Happy Birthday to your Sister and your friend!
ReplyDeletePickle? OMG. I hate it so much. And I think it smells bad :p But whatever. Happy birthday to all the names mentioned. I may not know them, but I just love giving birthday wishes to anybody. Have a lovely day, Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteOh Carolyn, that's pure love: Making pickled onions and crying!!!

Give my love to the "birthday-kids" (my mother had her 84th birthday the day before yesterday :o))

Dear Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteThe pickled onions look nice in the jars!
I have never had the pleasure to taste pickled onions...gonna have to try this sometime.
The watering and burning eye are hard to take.
I've tried a few tricks to try to stop the burning while peeling. Haven't had much luck.
Happy Birthday to your loved ones.
God bless.
