Here's mine. When slicing or chopping pungent onions have a tabletop
fan or perhaps a box fan pointed at yourself and those teary onions.
The fan pretty much keeps those sulphurous fumes from reaching your
eyes and nose and the tears at bay.
(The over the stove vent fan doesn't work in this instance.)
