TV Lies

I was watching the first season of Veronica Mars with Jill this past week or so, and there was a scene where Veronica and her mother were making dinner. In the scene, they were chopping onions with metal spoons in their mouths - a comment was made that it kept the tears away.




Jill is making me tacos (yum!) tonight for Husband's Day, and decided to try out this tear-less onion trick.

Partway through the chopping, I hear a muted groan and then some words (spoken around the spoon still in her mouth), "It doesn't work...". Bummer.

[[Aside: She wanted me to point out here that she doesn't try things from Burn Notice, another show we watch. I, on the other hand, have watched some of the "Ask a Spy" tutorials and thought, "Hmmmmm....".]]

I guess we really should see if the onion goggles are up to the challenge.







And this was just random - found it when I searched for tacos:

Awesome.
