Today someone in the lab brought in a Chinese onion salad. Lots of onions, sesame seed oil, vinegar, etc. We all concluded she used the wrong onion because the salad burned your throat way too much. It brought me back to an incident in high school when I had brought in a salad of my own making with lots of onions and somehow the container holding it had cracked open. The hallway stank of natural gas like fumes. I was quite startled by the staying power of the stench. I was deeply embarrassed and yet thankful that I had not the opportunity to consume the salad. My friends were so good they played completely dumb even though the whole school was wondering what had happened. Anyways, beware of the onion.
