onions
chop onions next to a lit gas burner. somehow it reduced the amount of make-you-cry stuff that the onion releases. got this from a tv cooking show host (alton brown) and it works very well! of course, if you have an electric range instead of gas, you're screwed.

Do it near a running cold water tap, i.e. at the kitchen sink
