Tonight for dinner I made my first foray into l'art complique de cuisine francais... with some half-way authentic coq au vin. Not really notable, except that I chopped up a lot of onions to accomplish this feat... and ended up with stinky onion fingers. I hate that! Every time you accidently bring your hands up near your face you just want to barf... uck.
So I decided that there was no way I was going to be able to sleep with these smelly onion hands, so I found a solution thanks to Dr. Google! Peanut butter!
Is there anything this stuff doesn't do? There were other 'solutions', but since I have peanut butter always on hand (hahah, get it) I figured I'd try that first. You take a little gob, massage it into your hands and nails for about a minute (or more if you're OCD like me), and then rinse off, then wash off with soap.
It worked! Nasty odor gone. I did miss the palms of my hands however, and though they don't smell bad, I wasn't taking any chances so I applied some scented moisturizer, and voila! Le problem solved.
So yeah, I'll be keeping this peanut butter trick handy, I'm sure it would work for garlic or chili peppers too. :)
