How easily happiness begins by
dicing onions. A lump of sweet butter
slithers and swirls across the floor
of the sauté pan, especially if its
errant path crosses a tiny slick
of olive oil. Then a tumble of onions.

I absolutely can not cut onions. My eyes water so much they literally hurt. Fortunately, Hubby keeps a ziplock bag full of cut onion in the freezer for me.
