Excerpts

Take intendance to chop the onion fine. To proceed from crying when y'all chop information technology (which is so annoying!), I suggest y'all place a petty bit on your caput. The problem with crying over an onion is that once the chopping gets you started and the tears begin to well up, the next thing you know y'all simply can't stop. I don't know whether that's ever happened to you, just I accept to confess information technology's happened to me, many times. Mama used to say it was considering I was expecially sensitive to onions, similar my great-aunt Tita.
