I love the smell of onions and will happily cook them for other people, but if I ingest them I have to get a shot in the butt to stop the bad results. I have not tested this in a number of years and hope that perhaps the allergy has gone away as they sometimes do, but I have not had the courage to try. If they are super processed, like freeze dried and then baked in a casserole or something I manage, but for the most part they are not possible. A inconvenience for eating out, but restaurants that prepare fresh food don't have an issue. Chain restaurants mostly can't accommodate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh jeez, Consuela. Yuck.

Yeah, pretty much. Sigh.

Poor you!
I was clever tonight. Home Despot was selling 5 tier shelves (plastic, for the basement) for $40, but their 4 tier ones for $20. So I got two 4 tiers, made one 5 tier and one 3 tier, all for the same cost (and it was the number of shelves I needed.) Things aren't the most efficiently put away on them, but I've gotten all the luggage as well as some other crap, off the floor, where I either had to worry about it getting wet or me tripping over it. So that's a win, I think.
My basement still needs so much help (a lot of things I need to donate/go through and toss), but oh well.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I love onions! But don't cook enough to buy many at a time.
I don't like them raw, but I generally love them cooked; however, I don't cook with onions enough to buy a bag at a time. I generally just buy 1 onion at a time, when I know I'm going to be cooking something requiring an onion.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thrive to spite them
I just saw someone suggest a tip of buying onions in bulk, then cooking them and freezing in portion sizes you'd use for cooking. Then just defrost and use as needed.

Oh, but that would involve tools and tears! eta: but of course I'm going to Get Ideas now....

Yipes Consuela! I feel for you on that one.
Beans are done. Succulent and delicious. Why isn't it dinner time yet?

I just buy onions as needed, and if I find I have too many, I start thinking onion soup.
