Yes, this was many years ago. The bar stool gets very little use now. Once
in a while daughter will rediscover it and spin on it. It has no back and
it does spin. Once in a while I will use it to set something on. My
kitchen is small and I don't have a lot of counter space.

I suppose an immunocompromised person like you has to take extra
precautions. I can shrug off that kind of "danger" because I'm healthy
enough. Sucks to be you!

That is true. When I was at my worst, I was having trouble with all of the
muscles in my body. I once accidentally threw a sharp knife because I lost
control of my fingers and apparently my arm. Because of this I was extra
careful and took things slowly.

I guess I still do this now. Currently I seem to have a little Carpal
Tunnel acting up. I know how to deal with it. I should be off the
computer. Mousing and keyboarding are not good for it. But I am addicted.

I also tend to enjoy my cooking time. I know not everyone does. My mom
hated cooking and the faster she got out of the kitchen the better. I am
not like that at all. I like to take my time. I find time in the kitchen
to be relaxing and enjoyable. Except perhaps for when I am washing the
dishes. I know some people find *that* to be enjoyable but I do not. I
like to watch the dish unfold before me and savor every step of the process.

Perhaps you are a healthier 40 than the folks who obsess over the
weirdest things to wash....? You challenge your immune system a bit and
it meets the challenge happily! I wash my hands frequently when cooking,
but not compulsively when just sitting at home. Some folks just ain't
right and do it to excess than wonder why they're neurotic messes with
chapped hands. LOL
I've never heard of anyone suggesting one needed to wash garlic and
onions before (assuming they're not funky for whatever reason) and I
can't say I have ever been harmed from it.

I had it once that I know of. My mom and dad had it too. We went out to
eat at some restaurant we were not familiar with. We all ate salad. My
brother did not eat salad and he did not get it. The source seemed to be
pretty clear.

Of course there could have been other times when I was sick that it was food
poisoning. But I would have no kind of proof one way or the other.

Come on Julie. Cut both ends off, slice it from stem to stern and
then pull the skin off each half.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Nope. I prefer to peel it first. Otherwise you get little bits of peel
sticking to the cut part.

Why is it that people here are getting upset at how *I* peel or cut an
onion? It's not like I'm cooking for any of you and you have to wait for
it.

that if sheldon endorses it, it's bogus.

Whatever. I can't see the difference between that and an onion. And you
*do* wash your onions. Right?

I did work as a crop picker. Only for one day. Not for me. But there
ain't no running water out there. Just sayin'.

I've only heard to wash onions. I did look up washing garlic and didn't see
anything about it but it does grow like an onion so it would stand to reason
that you should probably rinse it. But then I suppose you would have to
rinse each clove on an as needed basis. You certainly couldn't wash the
whole bulb or it would get soggy. Unless of course you were going to use
the whole bulb at that time.

From what I've read lately, I agree.


You cut the roots off the onion first, then cut in half. You make
things harder than they are.
