Columns of steam

I was in Zellers today and saw a cookbook called "The Rookie Cookbook." On the cover was a man tearing up as he cut an onion. So here's my question: how many onions must a man cut before they no longer burn his eyes?
I don't know how many I've chopped but I do know that it hurts it just as much now as it did 12 years ago. So tell me Jean Pare, when does the pain end?

Did you ever find an answer to this? If so, please fill me in so that I don't lose hope--if not, I'm buying goggles.

Unfortunately Jean Pare does not appear to read this blog. I was going to buy you some onion cutting goggles for Christmas one year. In retrospect I'm really glad the store was out.

Really? I can't believe I cut onions enough when you're around to inspire that. Why are you glad they were out? I would totally wear them every time. I could even put my shower cap on at the same time :)

I can't possibly think of a worse gift to give your girlfriend for Christmas. "Why don't you put those goggles to good use and get in the kitchen and cut up some onions." The shower cap would be a nice touch though...
