And I had to laugh, because I am exactly the same way with onions. I have tried everything. Sometimes the fridge helps...not always. have you tried the lit candle on the edge of the cutting board thing? Uh, yeah. Or only breathing through your mouth. What. Ever. You should have seen me back during my culinary apprenticeship. One day I was working a rotation in the big vegetable prep room and it was onion day. This mean a whole day of peeling, chopping, slicing, dicing onions in an enclosed room. I got so incredibly dizzy from the fumes and the tears that I almost passed out. I DID NOT make it past a couple of hours.Heather @girlichef.comhttp://www.girlichef.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-85193105689985743462012-12-05T17:28:52.306-06:002012-12-05T17:28:52.306-06:00Love the Mexican twist, and am trying to picture y...Love the Mexican twist, and am trying to picture you balancing an onion on top of your head. :)Debra Eliotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-15824333667547620652012-12-04T20:41:59.948-06:002012-12-04T20:41:59.948-06:00yep I wear contacts and I never cry chopping onion...yep I wear contacts and I never cry chopping onions unless i'm using my glasses for some reason.gracielanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-31964692871358711562012-12-03T22:39:24.046-06:002012-12-03T22:39:24.046-06:00You said French Onion Soup with a Mexican twist an...You said French Onion Soup with a Mexican twist and I came right over! Who knows, maybe some enterprising French cook made something like this during the French invasion of Mexico? No white wine but barrels of tequila? <br /><br />Also, keeping my onions in the fridge is the only thing that keeps me from crying!www.hotspicyandskinny.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-19415343303641709712012-12-03T17:39:55.454-06:002012-12-03T17:39:55.454-06:00This looks fabulous.

I noticed that if I chop onions with my glasses on, I cry; if I chop them with my contacts, I'm golden. So, not sure if you wear glasses or contacts, but, if you do, try that and tell me what you think.Camilla Mannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-11742224492461382432012-12-03T16:18:50.664-06:002012-12-03T16:18:50.664-06:00Hello Leslie.

Manchego cheese would be lovely (it's a good melter), and I like the idea of tequila. Why not?<br /><br /><br />However, if anyone wants to do a traditional version of this recipe, simply use 1/2 cup dry white wine instead of the tequila and use Comté or Gruyère instead of Manchego.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for introducing people to my book! <br /><br /><br />Cheers,<br />Wini Moranville, author of The Bonne Femme Cookbook.Wini Moranvillehttp://www.facebook.com/wini.moranvillenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744734965412225855.post-65991958733271092012012-12-03T11:51:57.298-06:002012-12-03T11:51:57.298-06:00I've never heard about running the knife under...I've never heard about running the knife under cold water before chopping onions.
