No more tears! Cut onion with cheers!

Hi,
        am back with another post. This time i"ll share a most useful tips with you. The tip to stop all the ladies's tears, the tears while cutting onion.

What do onions contain?Why do we cry while cutting onions?

         Onions contain amino acid sulfoxides that form sulfenic acids in the onion cells. Both the enzymes and the sulfenic acids are kept separately in the cells. When we cut the onion, the otherwise separate enzymes start mixing and produce propanethiol S-oxide, which is a volatile sulphur compound that starts wafting towards our eyes. The gas that is emitted reacts with the water of our eyes and forms sulphuric acid. The sulphuric acid thus produced causes burning sensation in our eyes and this in turn leads to the tear glands secreting tears. Thus we end up with watery eyes every time we cut onions.
It is the sulphur compound in the onions that also leave a typical odour of onions on your hands and utensils even after washing.[SOURCE]

         The mere thought of chopping onions literally make me cry. I start to cry everytime the moment my knife touches onion. Not only me, most of us experience the trouble while cutting onions. But now you know, i enjoy cutting onions. What makes me happy?
         Well ! here comes my saviour, my supporter, and my most useful companion in my kitchen. But sssshhhhhh! promise me you will keep this as a secret.

I heart this!
      Wait, i said i'll show you a way to stop your tears while chopping onions, but what am i doing with this swimming glass? Yes ladies this is my saviour and all am talking about.

       I tried wearing coolers, but that didn't make me laugh or stop my tears either. Then i bought this and is wearing everytime while cutting onions.  My eyes are safe from tears now. Now i cut onion with all cheers!

       Well, guess this would be the first thing on your shopping list! Enjoy and don't forget to remember me everytime you chop oninos.

[P.S : All the hubsters out there, you can buy this for your wives and give it to 'em and say,"இனிமேல் உன் கண்ணில் ஆனந்தக் கண்ணீர் மட்டும் தான் வரணும்". ]hehe!
                                                             
                                            HAPPY SHOPPING!

ORGANIZING BEDSPREADS

Hai guys , hope everything is good on your side.
                 Its been a so lo.....ng time since i started my blog. Some of my friends were asking me to update my blog. So i started this again. My today's post is about organizing bedspreads and the coordinating pillow case's. I used to keep my pillow case's seperately in a cover. But everytime when i change my bedspread i was bored fumbling the cover for the matching pillow case's and ended up in a real mess.See the pic below.


How messy it is, Yikes!

                                            So i thought i would( and must) find a better way to organize my bedspreads. What i did you know i take the bedspreads and the mathching pillow cases. I take one of the pillow case and keep the matching folded bedspread and the remaining pillow case's inside that and folded it.











                           Ta.. da. its all easy see. Now i dont need to go crazy everytime i change my sheets.
May be some of you may know this already or it may be an old technique but i found this way to be a very useful one to keep it well organized.

                                                    
        What do you say ladies? Are you a sort of woman who think of keeping things organized. Did you find my post a useful one. If yes lemme know, because your comments will boost me.
