Onions and the Heat of the Night
2008-03-21 09:04:00 You get tears when you peel it. And yes, the ancients believe that it’s an aphrodisiac. Since prehistoric times the onion has been considered an aphrodisiac. In the days of the Egyptian pharaohs, celibate priests were forbidden to eat onions because of its potential effects to raise their libidinous desires out of control. They are mentioned in many classic Hindu texts on the art of making love and were commonly used as an aphrodisiac in ancient Greece. Ancient Greeks believed that certain bitter edible bulbs (that includes garlic, and onion) stimulated passion. They were cooked in various ways, and eaten with “aphrodisiac salads” containing honey and sesame seeds. Also in France, newlyweds were served onion soup on the morning after their wedding night to restore their libido.What is it that onions have to make them believe that it’s an aphrodisiac? For one thing, onions are rich in sulfur compounds, the one that turns us into tears when chopping it. These sulfur compounds ...

Roasted Potatoes with Sweet and Sour Cipollini Onions
2008-02-22 23:58:00  There are times when I glance around my chaotic home office, and I despair a little. Then my eyes glaze over and I fall into a reverie about the good ol’ days, when I used to be organized: desktop in order, with clearly demarcated ”to do” and “done” piles. Mail returned with great alacrity, and an empty ”inbox” each evening. Shoes and boots lined up like bottles at a county fair, erect and waiting for the ball that will topple them. Laundry folded, laid neatly in drawers (never left to languish untouched on the top of the dresser for days). Ah, yes, it’s a lovely dream. In more recent times, what with papers to mark, driveways to shovel, cooking classes to teach, orders to bake, dogs to walk, blogs to write–well, I admit that I’ve become a little slack on the home front. But seriously, do you really need more than four square inches of desk space to pay your bills online? Do you really need booksh...

Original Onions - Grill Skills [2000]
2008-02-09 14:06:00 Phil Dirt; Columbus, Ohio's Original Onions take a fresh approach to their songs. Using surf and other instro styles as a foundation, they have generated a unique envelope from which to make music. Most of these tracks are covers, but the arrangements are quite good. This is an mp3 (well, ogg vorbis to be precise) album that can be found at InternetArchive.org. Many players will not read the files. WinAmp (PC) and Audion 3 (Mac OS X) do just fine with it.

Why do onions make you cry?
2008-02-08 05:59:00 As onions are sliced, cells are broken, allowing enzymes called alliinases to break down amino acid sulfoxides and generate sulfenic acids. Sulfenic acids are unstable and spontaneously rearrange into a volatile gas called syn-propanethial-S-oxide. The gas diffuses through the air and eventually reaches the eye, where it reacts with the water to form a diluted ...

Kiwi scientists create tear-free onions
2008-02-02 12:12:00 Now you would easily be able to chop onions without watery eyes, for scientists at the New Zealand Crop & Food Research have created a tear-free onion, by genetically altering the vegetable to crush the enzyme that produces tears in eyes. The study led by Dr Colin Eady, in collaboration with Japanese scientists, has successfully controlled the enzyme by using a phenomenon called RNA interference. The research team said that by stopping sulphur compounds from being converted to the tearing agent and redirecting them into compounds responsible for flavour and health, the process could even improve the onion. "By shutting down the lachrymatory factor synthase gene, we have stopped valuable sulphur compounds being converted to the tearing agent, and instead made them available for redirection into compounds, some of which are known for their flavour and health properties," the Telegraph quoted Dr Eady, as saying. "We anticipate that the ...

Save Your Green Onions
2007-12-13 02:57:00 When I buy green onion, I always try to pick bunches with roots on the ends. If I don't use the whole bunch, I plant the extra. Even after being in the refrigerator for over a week, I can still get most of them to root, either indoors in winter or outdoors in summer.Since green onion doesn't keep well in the refrigerator, or dry well, this is my solution to the problem of waste. Try it. If nothing else, it will give you a greater appreciation for nature.

5 Ways- Stop Crying when Cutting Onions!
2007-11-27 17:59:00 I hate crying! Especially when it is due to onions! It hurts too! Maybe I am just a big wimp, but I figure that there are many of you that feel the same way as I do! We love onions, sauteed onions, buttery delicious onions...but it becomes torturous trying to cut these darn things. I hope this helps a bit!5 Tips to Stop the Crying over Onions!!!1. Cut the onions under running water. Be careful though, please! I don't want you to get hurt! This prevents the sulfide from travelling up into our noses and inducing that terrible crying reaction. Perhaps soaking them in water for a bit before cutting them is a better idea. I will leave it up to you, but choose safely!2. Put those fab onions in the freezer for 5 minutes or so and then get going on cutting them.3. Make sure no one is around you, because this tip may be one you want to do alone. Put on some goggles to prevent the vapors from getting to you.4....

Never Cry Again!!! While Chopping Onions (Optimized)

Why Do Onions Make You Cry?
2007-11-19 06:30:00 Have you ever wondered why slicing onions can make you cry? Well, the reason why is because of the gas that the onion releases when we cut this member of the lily family.The onion itself contains oil, which contains sulfur, an irritant to both our noses and to our eyes. Cutting an onion arouses a gas contained within the onion, propanethiol S-oxide, which then couples with the enzymes in the onion to emit a passive sulfur compound.When this upwardly mobile gas encounters the water produced by the tear ducts in our eyelids, it produces sulfuric acid.In response to the caustic acid, our eyes automatically blink, and produce tears which irrigate the eye, and which flush out the sulfuric acid. Another reflex to rid the eyes of a foreign substance, that of rubbing our eyes with our hands, often exacerbates the situation, because our hands are coated with the caustic, sulfuric acid producing oil from cutting the onion, which we then rub directly into our eyes. Much to our chagrin, the ...
Italian Bruschetta - A perfect blend of tomatoes, onions and herbs on garli
2007-11-12 21:17:00 Bruschetta is a traditional Italian appetizer or antipasti, as you see it listed in a menu in an Italian restaurant, and definitely my favorite! I love bruschetta, especially the one that they serve over at the CheeseCake factory. They bake a special bread which is more fluffy, like a pizza base; but the traditional bruschetta is supposed to have a hard italian crusty bread for a base, and is topped with tomatoes, garlic, and basil, in the least. I like my own version though, which also includes onions and parmesan cheese:) So here's my recipe for this tasty snack which is very simple and easy to make, and healthy too! Ooh! I still have the lovely smell of garlic and the tomatoes and herbs in my nose!!Ingredients4 large ripe and juicy tomatoes1 garlic clove, minced1/2 cup onions - chopped finely1/4 cup loosely packed fresh basil leaves - chopped1 tbsp dry oregano flakesSalt and freshly ground pepper to taste1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (goat cheese or mozarella tastes great too...
