Maybe biting down on the wood and getting splinters in your tongue distracts you from the fumes?

Yeah - as long as you keep them consistently cold, it does help.

I think they might not be big enough for that - I'm sure if you read the comments at Amazon, someone has brought it up.

Don't get me started on this story. It pissed me off horribly when I read it a few days ago.

The dayglo green ones currently reside at my Dad's house, for when I cook there - they were my first pair. ;)

Whatever works, works. I just like them because sometimes, tight goggles give me headaches. I will always make room in my kitchen junk drawer for them. ;)

Older ones are a little "stumpier" - more squared off. But more importantly...the tea baskets do NOT have the handle. So it can be a bit dicey to get the basket out of the tea. So make sure you're getting this newer model.

In practical ability to block fumes from your eyes, no. Well fitting swim goggles are probably equally as functional.

Or you can stick the onions in the 'fridge or freezer, too.

I don't know that there's any one brand I'm loyal to, but for loose tea, large tea filters really are fine. They fit in most mugs or smaller teapots, and are disposable.

An elephant-headed guy who's named Mr. Nesh?

I have fallen away from her later work, mostly because I feel like nothing compares to her simpler, earlier works. (I tried, I really did.)

You know, it's official: Hollywood has run out of ideas. Or at least doesn't feel like financing new ideas.

Spectators. You can wear Spectator pumps for a lifetime.

You went with the multis! Excellent! And it looks like you have decent weather, too. :)

Yep, for his entire career, he passed to himself. He also ran every touchdown, too.

Nope. I had some friends who were rabid Pats fans who were always telling me how Brady was one of the best right after their first Super Bowl win in 2001.

The longer Brady plays, the more comfortable I am to pop him into an "All Time Greatest" list. It's just that people have been hanging this label on him for over a decade now. I think there's almost a gut reaction - it was hard to really swallow he was an "All Time Greatest" with not that many seasons under his…
