free form onion slam

My mind is racin'
body is tense.
Agonizing anguish
unrelenting  suspense.
Glimmering cuttlery
Gleaming metal strainers
Appliances shimmer in mid-day sunshine.
Black pepper-ball lodged inside my throat,
hands cover mouth, but not before uncontrolable coughs force themselves out.
Wheezing, sore sensations inflict the gullet violently, while eyes run wet with water.
Immediate headache, and worsening with great celerity. 
No universal solvent can pacify this affliction,
there's no Vitamin C to consider either.
Ovaltine? Forget about it, too malty.
Obscured periphery spots curious bulb through ocular waterfalls.
Drawn in, hopeful, but not sure.
The closer I get the more faithful I become,
Until...
HARK!
Spectacular Deliverance!
Not time to peel. Temporarily blind.
Anxious incisors pierce Allium achievement, while molars mash malevolent esophagus pain away.
Irritation is dispelled.
Alleviation is obtained.
The sting my eyes feel now is a successful, gratifying one.
Flavonoids pulverize my palate triumphantly.
Must be Western Yellow.

stupid hat....

On Tuesday, August 24, I encountered someone claiming to be allergic to onions and garlic.  They were sad to hear about my blog.  



"I get hives and start to choke."
Does enjoyment ride in all nasty-like without onions?


This hat is stupid.  Exploiters.

THE SAD ONION: IS IT A MYTH?

YES! Onions are not sad. Only those who misuse, abuse, or do not fully understand them are sad. Truly, and utterly sad.

THE SURPRISE

I was so excited to discover that the chef had surprised me by putting onions into my yellow curry dish!
