And of course, you too, Miles. I was starting to regret ever bringing this up, thinking I was the only one who couldn't seem to cut a small round object with any grace. Even from this distance, I could almost see Miles rolling his eyes and thinking, "Another nutbar American." I didn't mention the tears part, as I thought I had already whined enough. But speaking of that, when I get my onions directly from the farm, they don't make me cry. When I buy store bought onions, they usually do. Does that have anything to do with fresh vs. not-so-fresh? And Miles, so sorry about the laundry thing, but I don't know how to iron either. Seriously, I don't iron. No need to iron fleece or flannel. :-) Melissa Oh, thank you, thank you Cid, Xenny, and Elsie! And of course, you too, Miles.

I can add floods of tears to my onion chopping :(. I did hear the other week though that one should not cut right through the onion and just stop short. I tried it but when my tears took over it all became blurred and I wacked it! Elsie Miles et all,

I'd also like to know which type of knife would be the ideal weapon of choice. I’m with Cid and Melissa on this one, my fingers turn into jelly whenever I need to chop an onion.

Must be something to do with my poor quality knives and lack of practice made worse by my latest purchase of an upmarket slicing gadget! Cid Melissa,

Of course I shall do it, my brother tells me I should do things like this which I probably take for granted. If you don't mind I'll wait a while for my request from you-America is a big country-there are more choices to go at :) Miles Melissa,

Or is it simply a silly request? Does everyone else know how to chop onions in an efficient way? Is it just me? (Oh, don't tell me.) I seriously don't want you to go to any trouble on this. It was just a thought as I was fumbling away with my onion while making chard and chicken soup. Suddenly I thought, Miles needs to do a post on this. :-) Miles, you could post it on your blog if you think it’s worthy. Or is it simply a silly request?

You could be a human fondue :) Miles Xenny,
