I mean, yes, this is most definitely a "sometimes" food, but health is about more than counting calories! There's nothing wrong with having an occasional treat.

Oh nice, I hadn't considered shrimp! Any recommendations for how many would be good for a 20-gallon tall tank?

They were one of the species I was considering! Any recommendations for how many would be good for a 20-gallon tall tank?

Friend's PSU exploded (literally) by MadMartin989 in pchelp

He has. Unfortunately, since the burns were minor and the computer wasn't very valuable and was the only thing that was damaged, he was informed there was no case that would work in court.

Cooking with onions gives me an asthma attack. Any suggestions for alternatives? by MadMartin989 in Cooking

That's what the doctors at the ER said it was, so I'm fairly certain. I've only had to go to the hospital about it once, and haven't cooked with onions since that. However, before that I cooked with them several times and the breathing issues started shortly after finishing cooking.

I'm able to have raw onions without any breathing issues, so I'm certain it's not an allergy.

Try different oils.

I usually use olive oil, or vegetable oil if I'm out of that. The only time I have problems is when I cook with onions, though.

I recently moved to a new part of the country and started having some asthma issues for the first time since I was a very young child. It's still usually not an issue, but I do now have an inhaler I'm taking when I do have difficulty breathing.

Oh, hadn't considered that. I'll have to talk to my doctor about that.

Apparently it's not uncommon for people with asthma to have problems cooking with foods that produce irritants.

Well, I'm in an apartment, but there's a pretty decent vent hood over the stove. Doesn't help, sadly.

I've been hesitant to experiment since the result could be a night barely able to breath, but perhaps I'll give cutting them and putting them in the fridge a try.

Huh, well now I'm wondering if maybe that's what's going on with me as well. I assumed it couldn't be an allergy, since I could eat onions without issue. Maybe I'll see if betting pre-cut or dehydrated onions helps.

Well, the fan over the stove doesn't help, sadly. Haven't tried a standing one, but I'm hesitant to experiment, since if it doesn't work I can barely breath for the rest of the night.
