shallots: one part onion, one part devil

Nov 18, 2008 18:00

I was cutting up some shallots for the first time today and I don't know what the deal is with these shallots, but within about 10 seconds my eyes and actually my entire face hurt so bad that I wanted to TOTALLY FLIP OUT and maybe I did a little. The pain just got worse and worse but I was determined to cut them up. And I did. But that will ( Read more... )

I LOVE A SHALLOT!

Small yellow onions are my devil.

Eating shallots = good. Cutting them = no.

So...no news is good news?

15 DPO (typical length of Luteal Phase is 14 days since the miscarriage) with no spotting (which would be typical by now) and feeling VERY tender but two BFNs!!! Hoping for something tomorrow..either way would be better than not knowing anything!

I am such a snoop...I was just looking at your chart! I am actually wondering if you didn't O until a day or two after FF says you did. Your temps were acting weird around there. But today's temp looks good!! You are so strong not to test...you know I POAS about every 3 hours when I am in the TWW. I am looking to O in the next few days...then next month I do testing on CD 3 and then pray that we can TTCA in January!

That's odd. I thought that shallots were milder than regular onions. Maybe I'm thinking of something else.

Taste wise they are. But cutting up onions doesn't ever bother me. These had me running out of the room and sticking my head in the freezer and all sorts of other highly humorous (to someone else) antics.

Wow, that's intense. I've teared up when chopping an onion (regular) before, but I don't think I've ever had such a strong reaction to something as you did.
